XUnit Assertion for checking equality of objects

Question

I am using XUnit framework to test my C# code.

Is there any assert method available in this framework which does the object comparison? My intention is to check for equality of each of the object's public and private member variables.

I tried those alternatives but seldom it works:

1) bool IsEqual = (Obj1 == Obj2) 2) Assert.Same(Obj1, Obj2) which I couldnt understand what happens internally 

Answer 1

I had similar issue, but then luckily I am already using

using Newtonsoft.Json; 

So I just had to serialize it to json object then compare as string.

var obj1Str = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(obj1); var obj2Str = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(obj2); Assert.Equal(obj1Str, obj2Str );
