PeriodEquals Method

Two Period objects are equal if it can be ascertained that they will always represent the same period in time as each other when compared at the same time and in the same context.

Namespace: DegreeDays.Api.Data
Assembly: DegreeDays (in DegreeDays.dll) Version: 1.4
Syntax
Copy
public override sealed bool Equals(
	Object obj
)

Parameters

obj  Object
The object to compare with this instance.

Return Value

Boolean
true if obj is a Period that will always represent the same period in time as this Period when compared at the same time and in the same context, or false otherwise.
Remarks

If this method returns false, it is still possible that the two Period objects could represent the same period in time if compared at a certain time and in a certain context. For example, it is possible for a LatestValuesPeriod to translate to the same date range as a DayRangePeriod, but that is dependent on the time of comparison and the time at the location for which the data is being specified. This equals method does not attempt to look for transient equality like that - if the "equality" is dependent on time or context this method will always return false.
