Examples

The following example defines a DoubleComparer class that implements the IEqualityComparer interface. The example instantiates two Tuple<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5> objects by using a random number generator to populate their second through fifth components, casts the first instance to an IStructuralEquatable interface, and then uses a DoubleComparer object to test the two Tuple<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5> objects for approximate equality.

Remarks

This member is an explicit interface member implementation. It can be used only when the Tuple<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5> instance is cast to an IStructuralEquatable interface.

The IEqualityComparer.Equals implementation is called only if other is not null, and if it can be successfully cast (in C#) or converted (in Visual Basic) to a Tuple<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5> object whose components are of the same types as the current instance. The IStructuralEquatable.Equals(Object, IEqualityComparer) method first passes the Item1 values of the Tuple<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5> objects to be compared to the IEqualityComparer.Equals implementation. If this method call returns true, the method is called again and passed the Item2 values of the two Tuple<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5> objects. This continues until the method call returns false when it compares a specific pair of Item values, or the two Item5 values are passed to the method.
