How to get items that are and are not in a list
- by Chris
I have an IEnumerable, listOfOnes, and an IEnumerable, listOfTwos.
Assuming that I can compare objects of V against objects of T, I'd like to find which items are in listOfOnes but, not in listOfTwos. And vice versa.
ex:
var listOfOnes = new List<One>
{
new One
{
name = "chris",
type = "user"
},
new One
{
name = "foo",
type = "group"
},
new One
{
name = "john",
type = "user"
},
};
var listOfTwos = new[]
{
new Two
{
name = "chris",
type = "user"
},
new Two
{
name = "john",
type = "user"
},
new Two
{
name = "the Steves",
type = "group"
}
};
var notInTwos; //= listOfOnes.FindDifferences(listOfTwos);
//find all objects not in listOfTwos. Should find 'foo'.
var notInOnes; //= listOfTwos.FindDifferences(listOfOnes)
//find all objects not in listOfOnes. Should find 'the Steves'.
