Since I'm trying to implement a flyweight pattern, the opEqual need only comparision of reference in my case. By the way, what operation is the switch performing ? OpEqual or is ?

I solved the problem by moving the class Obj definition out of the class MyInfo. I still don't understand why I had to do that. In C++ this would work without problem. I now have interface Info {. . .} class Obj : Info {. . .} class MyInfos { . . . static immutable Obj one = new

I'm implementing the flyweight pattern. It means that I have a set of object instances representing all the possible values. This allows me to manipulate "values" by simply manipulating references to the instance. Testing "value" equality boils down to simply compare reference value. I hope
