checking equality of multi-dimensional arrays

Question

Would the following code be the correct way to check for equality between 2 multidimensional arrays?

rivate Function AreArraysEqual(Of T)(ByVal a(,) As T, ByVal b(,) As T) As Boolean

        If a Is Nothing AndAlso b Is Nothing Then

            Return False

        End If

        If a Is Nothing Or b Is Nothing Then

            Return False

        End If

        For i As Integer = 0 To a.GetUpperBound(0)

            For j As Integer = 0 To a.GetUpperBound(1)

                If Not a(i, j).Equals(b(i, j)) Then

                    Return False

                End If

            Next

        Next

        Return True
