Equals

Description

Tests for the equality of the current PBDOM_ENTITYREFERENCE object and a referenced PBDOM_OBJECT.

Syntax

pbdom_entityref_name.Equals(pbdom_object pbdom_object_ref)

Argument

Description

pbdom_entityref_name

The name of a PBDOM_ENTITYREFERENCE object


Return value

Boolean.

Returns true if the current PBDOM_ENTITYREFERENCE object is equivalent to the input PBDOM_OBJECT, and false otherwise.

Throws

EXCEPTION_PBDOM_OBJECT_INVALID_FOR_USE -- If the input PBDOM_OBJECT is not an object derived from PBDOM_OBJECT.

Usage

This method returns true only if the referenced PBDOM_OBJECT is also a derived PBDOM_ENTITYREFERENCE object and it refers to the same DOM object as the current PBDOM_ENTITYREFERENCE object. Two separately created PBDOM_COMMENTs, for example, can contain exactly the same text but not be equal.
