Comparing object properties in c# [closed]

Answer 1

If you are only comparing objects of the same type or further down the inheritance chain, why not specify the parameter as your base type, rather than object ?

Also do null checks on the parameter as well.

Furthermore I'd make use of 'var' just to make the code more readable (if its c#3 code)

Also, if the object has reference types as properties then you are just calling ToString() on them which doesn't really compare values. If ToString isn't overwridden then its just going to return the type name as a string which could return false-positives.

Answer 2

Make sure objects aren't null.

Having obj1 and obj2:

if(obj1 == null )
{
   return false;
}
return obj1.Equals( obj2 );
