I've just been banging my head against a wall trying to solve a bug because I read this page and concluded there was no meaningful difference when in practice there is so I'll post this link here in case anyone else finds they get different results out of == and equals.
Object == equality fails, but .Equals succeeds. Does this make sense?
string a = "x";
string b = new String(new []{'x'});
Console.WriteLine("x == x " + (a == b));//True
Console.WriteLine("object x == x " + ((object)a == (object)b));//False
Console.WriteLine("x equals x " + (a.Equals(b)));//True
Console.WriteLine("object x equals x " + (((object)a).Equals((object)b)));//True
