.NET Framework Reflection Compare two objects with reflection
Example
public class Equatable
{
public string field1;
public override bool Equals(object obj)
{
if (ReferenceEquals(null, obj)) return false;
if (ReferenceEquals(this, obj)) return true;
var type = obj.GetType();
if (GetType() != type)
return false;
var fields = type.GetFields(BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Public);
foreach (var field in fields)
if (field.GetValue(this) != field.GetValue(obj))
return false;
return true;
}
public override int GetHashCode()
{
var accumulator = 0;
var fields = GetType().GetFields(BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Public);
foreach (var field in fields)
accumulator = unchecked ((accumulator * 937) ^ field.GetValue(this).GetHashCode());
return accumulator;
}
}
Note: this example do a field based comparasion (ignore static fields and properties) for simplicity
