I'm having some problem understanding operator overloading.

I need to overload == to compare if two points have the same coordinates.

Two objects Point1 and Point2 and they have both got two coordinates(X and Y).

I would be really glad if someone could explain two me what I have to do and why.

If you use the built in type Point (part of System.Drawing) you won't have to overload - they work as expected.

If you just want to see how to implement operator overloading, here's a sample:

struct MyStruct
{
    public int x;
    public int y;

    public MyStruct(int x, int y)
    {
        this.x = x;
        this.y = y;
    }

    public static bool operator ==(MyStruct v1, MyStruct v2) 
    {
        return (v1.x==v2.x && v1.y==v2.y);
    }
    public static bool operator !=(MyStruct v1, MyStruct v2) 
    {
        return (v1.x!=v2.x || v1.y!=v2.y);
    }
}

And here's the sample code to test:

MyStruct m1 = new MyStruct(1, 2);
MyStruct m2 = new MyStruct(3, 4);
MyStruct m3 = new MyStruct(1, 2);

// The following is true;
if(m1 == m3) Debug.WriteLine("=");
// The following is not true
if(m1 == m2) Debug.WriteLine("=");

Why do you use struct? Can I use have a class instead of struct?

You can use a class if you want; operator overloading will work in
either.
