linq - What is the best way to check two List<T> lists for equality in C#

Question

There are many ways to do this but I feel like I've missed a function or something.

Obviously List == List will use Object.Equals() and return false.

If every element of the list is equal and present in the same location in the opposite list then I would consider them to be equal. I'm using value types, but a correctly implemented Data object should work in the same fashion (i.e I'm not looking for a shallow copied list, only that the value of each object within is the same).

I've tried searching and there are similar questions, but my question is an equality of every element, in an exact order.

Answer 1

Enumerable.SequenceEqual<TSource>
