How to: Test for Equality (C++/CLI)

  • Article

In the following sample, a test for equality that uses Managed Extensions for C++ is based on what the handles refer to.

Example

// mcppv2_equality_test.cpp
// compile with: /clr /LD
using namespace System;

bool Test1() {
   String ^ str1 = "test";
   String ^ str2 = "test";
   return (str1 == str2);
}

The IL for this program shows that the return value is implemented by using a call to op_Equality.

  IL_0012:  call       bool [mscorlib]System.String::op_Equality(string,
                                                                 string)
