GetHashCode override of object containing generic array

Question

I have a class that contains the following two properties:

public int Id      { get; private set; }
public T[] Values  { get; private set; }

Because of the problems raised in this thread, I'm posting another reply showing what happens if you get it wrong... mainly, that you can't use the array's GetHashCode(); the correct behaviour is that no warnings are printed when you run it... switch the comments to fix it:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
static class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // first and second are logically equivalent
        SimpleTableRow first = new SimpleTableRow(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6),
            second = new SimpleTableRow(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6);

        if (first.Equals(second) && first.GetHashCode() != second.GetHashCode())
        { // proven Equals, but GetHashCode() disagrees
            Console.WriteLine("We have a problem");
        }
        HashSet> set = new HashSet>();
        set.Add(first);
        set.Add(second);
        // which confuses anything that uses hash algorithms
        if (set.Count != 1) Console.WriteLine("Yup, very bad indeed");
    }
}
class SimpleTableRow : IEquatable>
{

    public SimpleTableRow(int id, params T[] values) {
        this.Id = id;
        this.Values = values;
    }
    public int Id { get; private set; }
    public T[] Values { get; private set; }

    public override int GetHashCode() // wrong
    {
        return Id.GetHashCode() ^ Values.GetHashCode();
    }
    /*
    public override int GetHashCode() // right
    {
        int hash = Id;
        if (Values != null)
        {
            hash = (hash * 17) + Values.Length;
            foreach (T t in Values)
            {
                hash *= 17;
                if (t != null) hash = hash + t.GetHashCode();
            }
        }
        return hash;
    }
    */
    public override bool Equals(object obj)
    {
        return Equals(obj as SimpleTableRow);
    }
    public bool Equals(SimpleTableRow other)
    {
        // Check for null
        if (ReferenceEquals(other, null))
            return false;

        // Check for same reference
        if (ReferenceEquals(this, other))
            return true;

        // Check for same Id and same Values
        return Id == other.Id && Values.SequenceEqual(other.Values);
    }
}
