I like to implement GetHashCode using tuples, as described here https://intellitect.com/overidingobjectusingtuple/. However, this doesn't seem to work for a derived class. For example:
class Base
{
public int Prop1 { get; set; }
public int Prop2 { get; set; }
public override int GetHashCode() => (Prop1, Prop2).GetHashCode();
}
class Derived : Base
{
public int Prop3 { get; set; }
public int Prop4 { get; set; }
public override int GetHashCode() => (Prop3, Prop4, ???).GetHashCode();
}
It's unclear how I'd implement the Derived GetHashCode using a tuple. Any suggestions? We're currently doing it this way, but I'd love to get rid of the unchecked and hash constant:
public override int GetHashCode()
{
unchecked
{
return (base.GetHashCode() * HashCodeConstant) ^ (Prop3, Prop4).GetHashCode();
}
}
see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/fundamentals/code-analysis/style-rules/ide0070
public override int GetHashCode()
{
return System.HashCode.Combine(base.GetHashCode(), Prop3, Prop4);
}
