How to compare two Dictionaries in C#

Question

I have two Generic Dictionaries.Both have same keys.But values can be different.I want to compare 2nd dictionary with 1st dictionary .If there are differences between values

Answer 1

converting the object to dictionary then following set concept subtract them, result items should be empty in case they are identically.

 public static IDictionary ToDictionary(this object source)
    {
        var fields = source.GetType().GetFields(
            BindingFlags.GetField |
            BindingFlags.Public |
            BindingFlags.Instance).ToDictionary
        (
            propInfo => propInfo.Name,
            propInfo => propInfo.GetValue(source) ?? string.Empty
        );

        var properties = source.GetType().GetProperties(
            BindingFlags.GetField |
            BindingFlags.GetProperty |
            BindingFlags.Public |
            BindingFlags.Instance).ToDictionary
        (
            propInfo => propInfo.Name,
            propInfo => propInfo.GetValue(source, null) ?? string.Empty
        );

        return fields.Concat(properties).ToDictionary(key => key.Key, value => value.Value); ;
    }
    public static bool EqualsByValue(this object source, object destination)
    {
        var firstDic = source.ToFlattenDictionary();
        var secondDic = destination.ToFlattenDictionary();
        if (firstDic.Count != secondDic.Count)
            return false;
        if (firstDic.Keys.Except(secondDic.Keys).Any())
            return false;
        if (secondDic.Keys.Except(firstDic.Keys).Any())
            return false;
        return firstDic.All(pair =>
          pair.Value.ToString().Equals(secondDic[pair.Key].ToString())
        );
    }
    public static bool IsAnonymousType(this object instance)
    {

        if (instance == null)
            return false;

        return instance.GetType().Namespace == null;
    }
    public static IDictionary ToFlattenDictionary(this object source, string parentPropertyKey = null, IDictionary parentPropertyValue = null)
    {
        var propsDic = parentPropertyValue ?? new Dictionary();
        foreach (var item in source.ToDictionary())
        {
            var key = string.IsNullOrEmpty(parentPropertyKey) ? item.Key : $"{parentPropertyKey}.{item.Key}";
            if (item.Value.IsAnonymousType())
                return item.Value.ToFlattenDictionary(key, propsDic);
            else
                propsDic.Add(key, item.Value);
        }
        return propsDic;
    }
originalObj.EqualsByValue(messageBody); // will compare values.
