Parameter(s)

• Obj: An object reference to be compared with a reference of the current object.

Return Value

This method returns bool value, it returns true if references equal otherwise it returns false.

C# Example of TimeSpan.Equals() Method

The source code to demonstrate the use of Equals() method of TimeSpan structure is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

using System;

class TimeSpanDemo {
  //Entry point of Program
  static public void Main() {
    //Here we create timespan with day,hour,minutes and seconds
    TimeSpan timespan1 = new TimeSpan(4, 2, 20, 0);
    TimeSpan timespan2 = new TimeSpan(2, 2, 10, 0);
    TimeSpan timespan3 = new TimeSpan(2, 2, 10, 0);

    bool ret = false;

    ret = timespan1.Equals(timespan2);
    if (ret == true)
      Console.WriteLine("timespan1 and timespan2 are equal");
    else
      Console.WriteLine("timespan1 and timespan2 are not equal");

    ret = timespan1.Equals(timespan3);
    if (ret == true)
      Console.WriteLine("timespan1 and timespan3 are equal");
    else
      Console.WriteLine("timespan1 and timespan3 are not equal");

    ret = timespan1.Equals(timespan1);
    if (ret == true)
      Console.WriteLine("timespan1 and timespan1 are equal");
    else
      Console.WriteLine("timespan1 and timespan1 are not equal");
  }
}

Output

timespan1 and timespan2 are not equal
timespan1 and timespan3 are not equal
timespan1 and timespan1 are equal
