I have two enumerables with the exact same reference elements, and wondering why Equals wouldn't be true.

As a side question, the code below to compare each element works, but there must be a more elegant way

Cheers,
Berryl

var other = (ActivityService) obj;
if (!AllAccounts.Count().Equals(other.AllAccounts.Count())) return false;
for (int i = 0; i < AllAccounts.Count(); i++) {
    if (!AllAccounts.ElementAt(i).Equals(other.AllAccounts.ElementAt(i))) {
        return false;
    }
}
return true;
