IEqualityComparer GetHashCode being called but Equals not

Question

I have two lists that I am trying to compare. So I have created a class that implements the IEqualityComparer interface, please see below in the bottom section

Rewrite you GetHashCode implementation like this, to match the semantics of your Equals implementation.

public int GetHashCode(FactorPayoffs obj)
{
    unchecked
    {
            int hash = 17;
            hash = hash * 23 + obj.dtPrice.GetHashCode();
            hash = hash * 23 + obj.dtPrice_e.GetHashCode();
            if (obj.Factor != null)
            {
                hash = hash * 23 + obj.Factor.GetHashCode();
            }

            if (obj.FactorGroup != null)
            {
                hash = hash * 23 + obj.FactorGroup.GetHashCode();
            }

            return hash;
    }
}

Note, you should use unchecked because you don't care about overflows. Additionaly, coalescing to string.Empty is pointlessy wasteful, just exclude from the hash.
