[This topic is pre-release documentation and is subject to change in future releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]

Determines if the two collections contain equal items in the same order. The two collections do not need to be of the same type; it is permissible to compare an array and an OrderedBag, for instance.

C#
public static bool EqualCollections<T>( IEnumerable<T> collection1, IEnumerable<T> collection2 )

Visual C++
public: generic<typename T> static bool EqualCollections ( IEnumerable<T>^ collection1, IEnumerable<T>^ collection2 )

Parameters

collection1: IEnumerable<(Of <T>)>
The first collection to compare.

collection2: IEnumerable<(Of <T>)>
The second collection to compare.

Return Value

True if the collections have equal items in the same order. If both collections are empty, true is returned.
