C# | Uri.Equals(Object) Method

Uri.Equals(Object) Method is used to compare two Uri instances for equality.

Syntax: public override bool Equals (object comparand); Here, it takes the Uri instance or a URI identifier to compare with the current instance. Return Value: This method returns a Boolean value true if the two instances represent the same URI otherwise, false.

Below programs illustrate the use of Uri.Equals(Object) Method: Example 1:

csharp

// C# program to demonstrate the
// Uri.Equals(Object) Method
using System;
using System.Globalization;

class GFG {

    // Main Method
    public static void Main()
    {
        // Declaring and initializing address1
        Uri address1 = new Uri("http://www.contoso.com/index.htm#search");

        // Declaring and initializing address2
        Uri address2 = new Uri("http://www.contoso.com/index.htm");

        // Comparing both instance
        // using Equals() method
        bool value = address1.Equals(address2);

        // Displaying the result
        if (value)
            Console.WriteLine("address1 is Equals to address2");
        else
            Console.WriteLine("address1 is not Equals to address2");
    }
}

Output:

address1 is Equals to address2

Example 2:

csharp

// C# program to demonstrate the
// Uri.Equals(Object) Method
using System;
using System.Globalization;

class GFG {

    // Main Method
    public static void Main()
    {

        // calling get() method
        get(new Uri("http://www.contoso.com"),
            new Uri("http://www.contoso.com"));

        get(new Uri("http://www.google.com"),
            new Uri("http://www.facebook.com"));
    }

    // defining get() method
    public static void get(Uri address1,
                           Uri address2)
    {

        // Comparing both instance
        // using Equals() method
        bool value = address1.Equals(address2);

        // Displaying the result
        if (value)
            Console.WriteLine("{0} is Equals to {1}", address1, address2);
        else
            Console.WriteLine("{0} is not Equals to {1}", address1, address2);
    }
}

Output:

http://www.contoso.com/ is Equals to http://www.contoso.com/
http://www.google.com/ is not Equals to http://www.facebook.com/
