XName.Equality Operator

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

Returns a value indicating whether two instances of XName are equal.

Namespace:  System.Xml.Linq
Assembly:  System.Xml.Linq (in System.Xml.Linq.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared Operator = ( _
    left As XName, _
    right As XName _
) As Boolean

public static bool operator ==(
    XName left,
    XName right
)

Parameters

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if left and right are equal; otherwise false.

Remarks

The operator overloads == and != are included to enable comparisons between XName and a string, such aselement.Name == "SomeElementName". The predefined reference equality operators in C# require one operand to be convertible to the type of the other through reference conversions only. These operators do not consider the implicit conversion from string to XName.
