- Modifiers: `virtual`
- Returns: `bool`

Indicates whether the current object is equal to another object of the same type.

```csharp
public record NetworkIdentifier
{
    public virtual bool Equals(
        NetworkIdentifier? other)
    {
        // ...
    }
}
```

## Parameters

- `other` ([NetworkIdentifier?](/reference/api/csharp/aspire.hosting/networkidentifier.md))
  An object to compare with this object.

    }
}
```

## Returns

`int` -- A hash code for the current object.

## op_Equality(NetworkIdentifier?, NetworkIdentifier?)

- Name: `op_Equality(NetworkIdentifier?, NetworkIdentifier?)`
- Modifiers: `static`
- Returns: `bool`

```csharp
public record NetworkIdentifier
{
    public static bool operator ==(
        NetworkIdentifier? left,
        NetworkIdentifier? right)
    {
        // ...
    }
}
```

## Parameters

- `left` ([NetworkIdentifier?](/reference/api/csharp/aspire.hosting/networkidentifier.md))
- `right` ([NetworkIdentifier?](/reference/api/csharp/aspire.hosting/networkidentifier.md))

## op_Inequality(NetworkIdentifier?, NetworkIdentifier?)

- Name: `op_Inequality(NetworkIdentifier?, NetworkIdentifier?)`
- Modifiers: `static`
- Returns: `bool`

```csharp
public record NetworkIdentifier
{
    public static bool operator !=(
        NetworkIdentifier? left,
        NetworkIdentifier? right)
    {
        // ...
    }
}
```

## Parameters

- `left` ([NetworkIdentifier?](/reference/api/csharp/aspire.hosting/networkidentifier.md))
- `right` ([NetworkIdentifier?](/reference/api/csharp/aspire.hosting/networkidentifier.md))

## ToString

- Name: `ToString`
- Modifiers: `override`
