c# - Comparing two objects .

Question

If i have a complex object, what is the best practice pattern to write code to compare 2 instances to see if they are the same

Answer 1

Implement the IEquatable interface. This defines a generalized method that a value type or class implements to create a type-specific method for determining equality of instances. Don't forget to override Equals(object) as well. More information here:
