Simple code explaining how to use the IComparer

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;

namespace CollectionAssert
{
    [TestClass]
    public class UnitTest1
    {
        [TestMethod]
        public void TestMethod1()
        {
            IComparer collectionComparer = new CollectionComparer();
            var expected = new List{ new SomeModel { Name = "SomeOne", Age = 40}, new SomeModel{Name="SomeOther", Age = 50}};
            var actual = new List { new SomeModel { Name = "SomeOne", Age = 40 }, new SomeModel { Name = "SomeOther", Age = 50 } };
            NUnit.Framework.CollectionAssert.AreEqual(expected, actual, collectionComparer);
        }
    }

    public class SomeModel
    {
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public int Age { get; set; }
    }

    public class CollectionComparer : IComparer, IComparer
    {
        public int Compare(SomeModel x, SomeModel y)
        {
            if(x == null || y == null) return -1;
            return x.Age == y.Age && x.Name == y.Name ? 0 : -1;
        }

        public int Compare(object x, object y)
        {
            var modelX = x as SomeModel;
            var modelY = y as SomeModel;
            return Compare(modelX, modelY);
        }
    }
}
