Protected Overloads Function Equals( _
   ByVal other As ObjectDescriptor _
) As Boolean

'Usage
 
Dim instance As ObjectDescriptor
Dim other As ObjectDescriptor
Dim value As Boolean
 
value = instance.Equals(other)

protected bool Equals( 
   ObjectDescriptor other
)

protected:
bool Equals( 
   ObjectDescriptor^ other
) 

Parameters

other

The ObjectDescriptor to compare with the current object.

Because the ObjectDescriptor has an implicit conversion from System.Guid and System.String, in languages that support implicit conversion operators (such as C# or VB.NET), you can simply use a GUID (representing the CLSID of the object) or a string (representing the so-called object descriptor string, such as a ProgID of the server) in place of this parameter, and the corresponding object descriptor will be constructed automatically. When the implicit conversion operators are not supported (such as with Python.NET), you can use the FromGuid or FromString static method instead.

The value of this parameter cannot be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).
