I want to have an Extension method "Equals" between 2 byte arrays
arrays, binary, c#, comparison, equality
Solution
using System.Linq;
byte[] a = {1,2,3};
byte[] b = {1,2,3};
bool same = a.SequenceEqual(b);
Problem
I am doing some byte[] comparisons. I tried == but this is just like the base Equals, which: ``` byte[] a = {1,2,3}; byte[] b = {1,2,3}; bool equals = a == b; //false equals = a.Equals(b); //false ``` I tried to add an extension method, but since the overloaded base class' Equals takes the same arguments, it goes to the base method rather to the extension, is there anyway I can use an Equals extension (wthout changing it's name...) or (even better) use == operator? Here is what I actually have to Compare: ``` public static bool ContentEquals(this byte[] array, byte[] bytes) { if (array == null || bytes == null) throw new ArgumentNullException(); if( array.Length != bytes.Length) return false; for (int i = 0; i < array.Length; i++) if (array[i] != bytes[i]) return false; return true; } ```
