[Visual Basic 6.0]

The code below creates two PropertySets and then compares them using the IsEqual method

    Dim pPS1 As IPropertySet
    Dim pPS2 As IPropertySet
    Dim vTags As Variant
    Dim vValues As Variant
    Dim b As Boolean

    'Create the first PropertySet
    Set pPS1 = New PropertySet
    vValues = "value1"
    pPS1.SetProperty "name1", vValues
    vValues = "value2"
    pPS1.SetProperty "name2", vValues

    'Create the second PropertySet    
    Set pPS2 = New PropertySet
    vValues = "value1"
    pPS2.SetProperty "name1", vValues
    vValues = "value2"
    pPS2.SetProperty "name2", vValues

   'Compare the files to see if they are equal
    b = pPS1.IsEqual(pPS2)
    MsgBox "PropertySets are equal: " & b
