property

Can someone explain why this is occurring? The code below was executed in the immediate window in vs2008. The prop is an Int32 property (id column) on an object created by the entity framework.

The objects entity and defaultEntity were created using Activator.CreateInstance();

Convert.ChangeType(prop.GetValue(entity, null), prop.PropertyType) 0 Convert.ChangeType(prop.GetValue(defaultEntity, null), prop.PropertyType) 0 Convert.ChangeType(prop.GetValue(entity, null), prop.PropertyType) == Convert.ChangeType(prop.GetValue(defaultEntity, null), prop.PropertyType) false
