How to best implement Equals for custom types?

Question

Say for a Point2 class, and the following Equals:

public override bool Equals ( object obj )

public bool Equals ( Point2 obj )

This is the

Answer 1

The technique I've used that has worked for me is as follows. Note, I'm only comparing based on a single property (Id) rather that two values. Adjust as needed

using System;
namespace MyNameSpace
{
    public class DomainEntity
    {
        public virtual int Id { get; set; }

        public override bool Equals(object other)
        {
            return Equals(other as DomainEntity);
        }

        public virtual bool Equals(DomainEntity other)
        {
            if (other == null) { return false; }
            if (object.ReferenceEquals(this, other)) { return true; }
            return this.Id == other.Id;
        }

        public override int GetHashCode()
        {
            return this.Id;
        }

        public static bool operator ==(DomainEntity item1, DomainEntity item2)
        {
            if (object.ReferenceEquals(item1, item2)) { return true; }
            if ((object)item1 == null || (object)item2 == null) { return false; }
            return item1.Id == item2.Id;
        }

        public static bool operator !=(DomainEntity item1, DomainEntity item2)
        {
            return !(item1 == item2);
        }
    }
}
