When can a == b be false and a.Equals(b) true?

Question

I ran into this situation today. I have an object which I\'m testing for equality; the Create() method returns a subclass implementation of MyObject.

MyObject         


        

Answer 1

a == b checks if they reference the same object.

a.Equals(b) compares the contents.

This is a link to a Jon Skeet article from 2004 that explains it better.
