array equals method

I'm trying to determine if a value in an array element is equal to another value.

I have the following code set up, but it's not working as expected (unless I'm using it incorrectly):

<code>

If Convert.ToUInt64(CDRElements(1)).Equals(objSrchMaster.objSrchObj(i).Pos) Then
blnCondition = True
Else
blnCondition = False
End If

</code>

While debugging in the immediate window, the value of Convert.ToUInt64(CDRElements(1)) = 6

and the value of objSrchMaster.objSrchObj(i).Pos = 6

which is the same value.

Unless I'm using this method incorrectly, I don't know why it falls thru to the FALSE statement instead of the TRUE STATEMENT IN THE ABOVE CODE.

How can I compare these two values (one in an array element) to get the expected result

That is correct. It worked fine...

Thanks so much....

out of curiosity, is the type of objSrchMaster.objSrchObj(i).Pos also uint64 I think Equals will work correctly with value types, but it only returns true if they are of the same type, along with the same value

Equals is used for comparing object references which in this case I probably doubt that they are the same references. I think what you need is actually a simple = instead of equals

If Convert.ToUInt64(CDRElements(1))   = objSrchMaster.objSrchObj(i).Pos Then
   blnCondition = True
Else
   blnCondition = False
End If

If not sure why you are using Convert.toUInt64 but you could probably use Ctype to cast the value to the same type.
