Parameters

x

An object to compare to y.

y

An object to compare to x.

Returns

true if x and y refer to the same object, or x and y are both the same type of object and those objects are equal; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The StringComparer.Equals(string, string) method is more efficient than the StringComparer.Equals(object, object) method because the x and y parameters do not have to be unboxed to perform the comparison.
