GetPartialHashCode Method (FieldCollection)

Serves as a hash function for selected properties of this object.

Syntax

public int GetPartialHashCode()

public:
int GetPartialHashCode();

'Declaration
 
Public Function GetPartialHashCode() As Integer

'Usage
 
Dim instance As FieldCollection
Dim value As Integer
 
value = instance.GetPartialHashCode()

Return Value

An integer that contains the hash code for the object. Two FieldCollection objects whose Field objects have different partial hash codes will almost always have different partial hash codes.

Remarks

This method computes and returns a hash code for this object. Unlike the GetHashCode method, this method is not intended for use in a hash table or other similar data structure. Instead, you can use it to determine when some of the persistent properties of this object have changed. Specifically, this method examines the properties of the fields in the collection that affect field processing.
