Вот обновленная версия из ответа Фредрика Мёрка, которая учитывает Nullable
и рекурсивные ссылки:
public static bool AreEqual<T>(T x, T y) =>
AreEqual(x, y, new HashSet<object>(new IdentityEqualityComparer<object>()));
private static bool AreEqual(object x, object y, ISet<object> visited)
{
// if both are null, they are equal
if (x == null && y == null) return true;
// if one of them are null, they are not equal
if (x == null || y == null) return false;
// if they are of different types, they can't be compared
if (x.GetType() != y.GetType())
{
throw new InvalidOperationException("x and y must be of the same type");
}
// check for recursive references
if (visited.Contains(x)) return true;
if (visited.Contains(y)) return true;
visited.Add(x);
visited.Add(y);
var type = x.GetType();
var properties = type.GetProperties();
foreach (var property in properties)
{
// compare only properties that requires no parameters
if (property.GetGetMethod().GetParameters().Length == 0)
{
object xValue = property.GetValue(x, null);
object yValue = property.GetValue(y, null);
if (property.PropertyType.IsValueType)
{
// check for Nullable
if (xValue == null && yValue == null) continue;
if (xValue == null || yValue == null) return false;
if (!xValue.Equals(yValue)) return false;
}
if (!property.PropertyType.IsValueType)
{
if (!AreEqual(xValue, yValue, visited)) return false;
}
}
}
return true;
}
private class IdentityEqualityComparer<T> : IEqualityComparer<T> where T : class
{
public int GetHashCode(T value) => RuntimeHelpers.GetHashCode(value);
public bool Equals(T left, T right) => left == right;
}
