Public Class Tuple(Of T1) _
Implements IStructuralEquatable, IStructuralComparable, IComparable
public class Tuple<T1> : IStructuralEquatable, IStructuralComparable,
IComparable
Type Parameters
- T1
The type of the tuple's only component.
The Tuple<T1> type exposes the following members.
Methods
Name | Description | |
---|---|---|
Equals | Returns a value that indicates whether the current Tuple<T1> object is equal to a specified object. (Overrides Object.Equals(Object).) | |
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 | Returns the hash code for the current Tuple<T1> object. (Overrides Object.GetHashCode().) | |
GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) | |
MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) | |
ToString | Returns a string that represents the value of this Tuple<T1> instance. (Overrides Object.ToString().) |

Explicit Interface Implementations
Name | Description | |
---|---|---|
IComparable.CompareTo | Compares the current Tuple<T1> object to a specified object, and returns an integer that indicates whether the current object is before, after, or in the same position as the specified object in the sort order. | |
IStructuralComparable.CompareTo | Compares the current Tuple<T1> object to a specified object by using a specified comparer, and returns an integer that indicates whether the current object is before, after, or in the same position as the specified object in the sort order. | |
IStructuralEquatable.Equals | Returns a value that indicates whether the current Tuple<T1> object is equal to a specified object based on a specified comparison method. | |
IStructuralEquatable.GetHashCode | Calculates the hash code for the current Tuple<T1> object by using a specified computation method. |

Remarks
A tuple is a data structure that has a specific number and sequence of values. The Tuple<T1> class represents a 1-tuple, or singleton, which is a tuple that has a single component. A singleton is used comparatively rarely in application development.
You can instantiate a Tuple<T1> object by calling either the Tuple<T1> constructor or the static Tuple.Create method. You can retrieve the value of the tuple's single component by using the read-only Item1 instance property.
