Conditional or in C#

Question

I've been programming in JAVA and C all my years at Uni, but now I'm learning C# and building a small application, and I've found troubles with this:

if (taxonType.Equals(null) ¦¦ taxonID == -1)

I get a red underline for this conditional, and I don't really know why, because according to what I've seen that should be ok, but it is not. Is there something I'm missing?

thank you all in advance, Victor

Thank you all!!! I was getting mad about this. The thing is that I'm Spanish and I'm used to have the pipe key | exactly in the same place where ¦ is in the American configuration... I was seeing this ¦ strange, but I thought it was the same...

Thanks for the fast reply!! Victor

Answer 1

if (taxonType == null || taxonID == -1)

Modified for correct code as well as answering the question asked

Answer 2

What is '¦'? Are you sure it is the same character as '|'?

Answer 3

I don't know the types of taxonType and taxonID but it should work like this:

if (taxonType == null || taxonID == -1)
