Appends two objects to the list of values to compare and compares them using a supplied comparer.
Public methodAppendT(T, T, FuncT, T, Boolean)
Appends two objects to the list values to compare and compares them using a supplied comparison function.
Public methodAppendBase
Appends the result of base.Equals.
Public methodAppendManyT(IEnumerableT, IEnumerableT)
Appends two enumerable objects that contain the same (IEquatable) type to the list of values to compare.
Public methodAppendManyT(IEnumerableT, IEnumerableT, IEqualityComparerT)
Appends two enumerable objects that contain the same type to the list of values to compare.
Public methodAppendManyT(IEnumerableT, IEnumerableT, FuncT, T, Boolean)
Appends two enumerable objects that contain the same type to the list of values to compare.
Public methodEquals
Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object.

Remarks

This class allows you to compare multiple fields in your class in a fluent style.

This is a partial port of the Apache Commons EqualsBuilder class.

Examples
Copy
class Foo 
{
    private int field1;
    private int[] field2;

    ...

    public override bool Equals(object obj)
    {
        ...
        MyClass other = obj as MyClass;
        return new EqualsBuilder()
            .Append(field1, other.field1)
            .AppendMany(field2, other.field2)
            .IsEquals;
    }
}
