Operators Class

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

This API supports the .NET Framework infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.

Provides late-bound math operators, such as AddObject and CompareObject, which the Visual Basic compiler uses internally.

Public NotInheritable Class Operators

public sealed class Operators

The Operators type exposes the following members.

Methods

	Name	Description
	AddObject	Infrastructure. Represents the Visual Basic addition (+) operator.
	AndObject	Infrastructure. Represents the Visual Basic And operator.
	CompareObject	Infrastructure. Represents Visual Basic comparison operators.
	CompareObjectEqual	Infrastructure. Represents the Visual Basic equal (=) operator.
	CompareObjectGreater	Infrastructure. Represents the Visual Basic greater-than (>) operator.
	CompareObjectGreaterEqual	Infrastructure. Represents the Visual Basic greater-than or equal-to (>=) operator.
	CompareObjectLess	Infrastructure. Represents the Visual Basic less-than (<) operator.
	CompareObjectLessEqual	Infrastructure. Represents the Visual Basic less-than or equal-to (<=) operator.
	CompareObjectNotEqual	Infrastructure. Represents the Visual Basic not-equal (<>) operator.
	CompareString	Infrastructure. Performs binary or text string comparison when given two strings.
	ConcatenateObject	Infrastructure. Represents the Visual Basic concatenation (&) operator.
	ConditionalCompareObjectEqual	Infrastructure. Represents the overloaded Visual Basic equals (=) operator.
	ConditionalCompareObjectGreater	Infrastructure. Represents the overloaded Visual Basic greater-than (>) operator.
	ConditionalCompareObjectGreaterEqual	Infrastructure. Represents the overloaded Visual Basic greater-than or equal-to (>=) operator.
	ConditionalCompareObjectLess	Infrastructure. Represents the overloaded Visual Basic less-than (<) operator.
	ConditionalCompareObjectLessEqual	Infrastructure. Represents the overloaded Visual Basic less-than or equal-to (<=) operator.
	ConditionalCompareObjectNotEqual	Infrastructure. Represents the overloaded Visual Basic not-equal (<>) operator.
	DivideObject	Infrastructure. Represents the Visual Basic division (/) operator.
	Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	ExponentObject	Infrastructure. Represents the Visual Basic exponent (^) operator.
	FallbackInvokeUserDefinedOperator	Obsolete. Executes a late-bound evaluation of a user-defined operator. This helper method is not meant to be called directly from your code.
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode	Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	IntDivideObject	Infrastructure. Represents the Visual Basic integer division (\) operator.
	LeftShiftObject	Infrastructure. Represents the Visual Basic arithmetic left shift (<<) operator.
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	ModObject	Infrastructure. Represents the Visual Basic Mod operator.
	MultiplyObject	Infrastructure. Represents the Visual Basic multiply (*) operator.
	NegateObject	Infrastructure. Represents the Visual Basic unary minus (–) operator.
	NotObject	Infrastructure. Represents the Visual Basic Not operator.
	OrObject	Infrastructure. Represents the Visual Basic Or operator.
	PlusObject	Infrastructure. Represents the Visual Basic unary plus (+) operator.
	RightShiftObject	Infrastructure. Represents the Visual Basic arithmetic right shift (>>) operator.
	SubtractObject	Infrastructure. Represents the Visual Basic subtraction (–) operator.
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
	XorObject	Infrastructure. Represents the Visual Basic Xor operator.
