Any help is apprecia

Answer 1

You can also use the "IS" keyword, if you expect the two object instances to be of a certain type. This will also work for comparing sub-classes to parent classes and also classes that implement interfaces and so forth. This will not work for types of type Type though.

if (objA Is string && objB Is string)
// they are the same.

public class a {}

public class b : a {}

b objb = new b();

if (objb Is a)
// they are of the same via inheritance
