Check if two StringDictionary objects are equal or not in C#


To check if two StringDictionary objects are equal or not, the code is as follows −

Example

 Live Demo

using System;
using System.Collections.Specialized;
public class Demo {
   public static void Main() {
      StringDictionary strDict1 = new StringDictionary();
      strDict1.Add("A", "John");
      strDict1.Add("B", "Andy");
      strDict1.Add("C", "Tim");
      strDict1.Add("D", "Ryan");
      strDict1.Add("E", "Kevin");
      strDict1.Add("F", "Katie");
      strDict1.Add("G", "Brad");
      StringDictionary strDict2 = new StringDictionary();
      strDict2.Add("A", "John");
      strDict2.Add("B", "Andy");
      strDict2.Add("C", "Tim");
      strDict2.Add("D", "Ryan");
      strDict2.Add("E", "Kevin");
      strDict2.Add("F", "Katie");
      strDict2.Add("G", "Brad");
      StringDictionary strDict3 = new StringDictionary();
      strDict3 = strDict2;
      Console.WriteLine("Is Dictionary2 equal to Dictionary3? = "+strDict2.Equals(strDict3));
      Console.WriteLine("Is Dictionary1 equal to Dictionary3? = "+strDict1.Equals(strDict3));
   }
}

Output

This will produce the following output −

Is Dictionary2 equal to Dictionary3? = True
Is Dictionary1 equal to Dictionary3? = False

Example

Let us see another example −

 Live Demo

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Specialized;
public class Demo {
   public static void Main() {
      StringDictionary strDict1 = new StringDictionary();
      strDict1.Add("A", "John");
      strDict1.Add("B", "Andy");
      strDict1.Add("C", "Tim");
      strDict1.Add("D", "Ryan");
      strDict1.Add("E", "Kevin");
      strDict1.Add("F", "Katie");
      strDict1.Add("G", "Brad");
      Console.WriteLine("StringDictionary1 elements...");
      foreach(DictionaryEntry d in strDict1) {
         Console.WriteLine(d.Key + " " + d.Value);
      }
      StringDictionary strDict2 = new StringDictionary();
      strDict2.Add("A", "John");
      strDict2.Add("B", "Andy");
      strDict2.Add("C", "Tim");
      strDict2.Add("D", "Ryan");
      strDict2.Add("E", "Kevin");
      strDict2.Add("F", "Katie");
      strDict2.Add("G", "Brad");
      Console.WriteLine("
StringDictionary2 elements...");       foreach(DictionaryEntry d in strDict2) {          Console.WriteLine(d.Key + " " + d.Value);       }       Console.WriteLine("
Is Dictionary2 equal to Dictionary1? = "+strDict2.Equals(strDict1));    } }

Output

This will produce the following output −

StringDictionary1 elements...
a John
b Andy
c Tim
d Ryan
e Kevin
f Katie
g Brad

StringDictionary2 elements...
a John
b Andy
c Tim
d Ryan
e Kevin
f Katie
g Brad
Is Dictionary2 equal to Dictionary1? = False
