Check if two ListDictionary objects are equal in C#

To check if two ListDictionary objects are equal, the code is as follows −

Example

 Live Demo

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Specialized;
public class Demo {
   public static void Main(){
      ListDictionary dict1 = new ListDictionary();
      dict1.Add("A", "Books");
      dict1.Add("B", "Electronics");
      dict1.Add("C", "Smart Wearables");
      dict1.Add("D", "Pet Supplies");
      dict1.Add("E", "Clothing");
      dict1.Add("F", "Footwear");
      Console.WriteLine("ListDictionary1 elements...");
      foreach(DictionaryEntry d in dict1){
         Console.WriteLine(d.Key + " " + d.Value);
      }
      ListDictionary dict2 = new ListDictionary();
      dict2.Add("1", "One");
      dict2.Add("2", "Two");
      dict2.Add("3", "Three");
      dict2.Add("4", "Four");
      dict2.Add("5", "Five");
      dict2.Add("6", "Six");
      Console.WriteLine("
ListDictionary2 elements...");
      foreach(DictionaryEntry d in dict2){
         Console.WriteLine(d.Key + " " + d.Value);
      }
      ListDictionary dict3 = new ListDictionary();
      dict3 = dict2;
      Console.WriteLine("
Is ListDictionary3 equal to ListDictionary2? = "+(dict3.Equals(dict2)));
   }
}

Output

This will produce the following output −

ListDictionary1 elements...
A Books
B Electronics
C Smart Wearables
D Pet Supplies
E Clothing
F Footwear

ListDictionary2 elements...
1 One
2 Two
3 Three
4 Four
5 Five
6 Six
Is ListDictionary3 equal to ListDictionary2? = True

Example

Let us see another example −

 Live Demo

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Specialized;
public class Demo {
   public static void Main(){
      ListDictionary dict1 = new ListDictionary();
      dict1.Add("A", "Books");
      dict1.Add("B", "Electronics");
      dict1.Add("C", "Smart Wearables");
      dict1.Add("D", "Pet Supplies");
      dict1.Add("E", "Clothing");
      dict1.Add("F", "Footwear");
      Console.WriteLine("ListDictionary1 elements...");
      foreach(DictionaryEntry d in dict1){
         Console.WriteLine(d.Key + " " + d.Value);
      }
      ListDictionary dict2 = new ListDictionary();
      dict2.Add("1", "One");
      dict2.Add("2", "Two");
      dict2.Add("3", "Three");
      dict2.Add("4", "Four");
      dict2.Add("5", "Five");
      dict2.Add("6", "Six");
      Console.WriteLine("
ListDictionary2 elements...");
      foreach(DictionaryEntry d in dict2){
         Console.WriteLine(d.Key + " " + d.Value);
      }
      Console.WriteLine("
Is ListDictionary1 equal to ListDictionary2? = "+(dict1.Equals(dict2)));
   }
}

Output

This will produce the following output −

ListDictionary1 elements...
A Books
B Electronics
C Smart Wearables
D Pet Supplies
E Clothing
F Footwear

ListDictionary2 elements...
1 One
2 Two
3 Three
4 Four
5 Five
6 Six
Is ListDictionary1 equal to ListDictionary2? = False
