EqualSets Generic Method

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

Determines if two collections are equal, considered as sets. Two sets are equal if they have have the same items, with order not being significant.

Namespace: Wintellect.PowerCollections
Assembly: PowerCollections (in PowerCollections.dll)

Syntax

C#
public static bool EqualSets<T>( IEnumerable<T> collection1, IEnumerable<T> collection2, IEqualityComparer<T> equalityComparer )

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Shared Function EqualSets(Of T) ( _ collection1 As IEnumerable(Of T), _ collection2 As IEnumerable(Of T), _ equalityComparer As IEqualityComparer(Of T) _ ) As Boolean

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

equalityComparer: IEqualityComparer<(Of <T>)>
The IEqualityComparer<T> used to compare items for equality. Only the Equals and GetHashCode member functions of this interface are called.

True if collection1 are collection2 are equal, considered as sets.

If both collections are Set, Bag, OrderedSet, or OrderedBag collections, it is more efficient to use the EqualTo method on that class.

Exception	Condition
System..::ArgumentNullException	collection1 or collection2 is null.
