Methods

Compare(IReadOnlyForeignKey?, IReadOnlyForeignKey?)

Compares two objects and returns a value indicating whether one is less than, equal to, or greater than the other.

public int Compare(IReadOnlyForeignKey? x, IReadOnlyForeignKey? y)

Parameters

x IReadOnlyForeignKey

The first object to compare.

y IReadOnlyForeignKey

The second object to compare.

Returns

int

A negative number if 'x' is less than 'y'; a positive number if 'x' is greater than 'y'; zero otherwise.

Equals(IReadOnlyForeignKey?, IReadOnlyForeignKey?)

Determines whether the specified objects are equal.

public bool Equals(IReadOnlyForeignKey? x, IReadOnlyForeignKey? y)

Parameters

x IReadOnlyForeignKey

The first object to compare.

y IReadOnlyForeignKey

The second object to compare.

Returns

bool

true if the specified objects are equal; otherwise, false.

GetHashCode(IReadOnlyForeignKey)

Returns a hash code for the specified object.

public int GetHashCode(IReadOnlyForeignKey obj)

Parameters

obj IReadOnlyForeignKey

The for which a hash code is to be returned.

Returns

int

A hash code for the specified object.
