How to find out whether two string arrays are equal to other

how to assert that both lists contain same items?

string[] arr1 = listvalue.ToArray();
string[] arr2 = listvalueMain.ToArray();
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
    Assert.AreEqual(arr1[i], arr2[i]);
}

This shows an error.

Answer 1

You can use SequenceEqual to check that the elements are the same and in the same order.

bool areEqual = listvalue.SequenceEqual(listvalueMain);

or simply

Assert.IsTrue(listvalue.SequenceEqual(listvalueMain));

Answer 2

Use CollectionAssert.AreEqual() or other similar method.

Answer 3

You can do like this :

foreach (string item in firstList)  
{  
    if (secondList.Contains(item))  
    {  
        MessageBox.Show("Item found" + item);  
    }
}
