Examples
The following code example demonstrates the Equals method.
         Dim myVariable1 As UInt16 = UInt16.Parse(10)
         Dim myVariable2 As UInt16 = UInt16.Parse(10)
         ' Display the declaring type.
         outputBlock.Text += String.Format(ControlChars.NewLine + "Type of 'myVariable1' is '{0}' and" + _
               " value is :{1}", myVariable1.GetType().ToString(), myVariable1.ToString()) + vbCrLf
         outputBlock.Text += String.Format("Type of 'myVariable2' is '{0}' and" + _
                  " value is :{1}", myVariable2.GetType().ToString(), myVariable2.ToString()) + vbCrLf
         ' Compare 'myVariable1' instance with 'myVariable2' Object.
         If myVariable1.Equals(myVariable2) Then
            outputBlock.Text += String.Format(ControlChars.NewLine + "Structures 'myVariable1' and" + _
                  " 'myVariable2' are equal") + vbCrLf
         Else
            outputBlock.Text += String.Format(ControlChars.NewLine + "Structures 'myVariable1' and" + _
            " 'myVariable2' are not equal") + vbCrLf
         End If
         UInt16 myVariable1 = 10;
         UInt16 myVariable2 = 10;
         //Display the declaring type.
         outputBlock.Text += String.Format("\nType of 'myVariable1' is '{0}' and" +
              " value is :{1}", myVariable1.GetType(), myVariable1) + "\n";
         outputBlock.Text += String.Format("Type of 'myVariable2' is '{0}' and" +
              " value is :{1}", myVariable2.GetType(), myVariable2) + "\n";
         // Compare 'myVariable1' instance with 'myVariable2' Object.
         if (myVariable1.Equals(myVariable2))
            outputBlock.Text += String.Format("\nStructures 'myVariable1' and " +
                  "'myVariable2' are equal") + "\n";
         else
            outputBlock.Text += String.Format("\nStructures 'myVariable1' and " +
                  "'myVariable2' are not equal") + "\n";
