Comparing XmlDocument for equality (content wise)

Question

If I want to compare the contents of a XMlDocument, is it just like this?

XmlDocument doc1 = GetDoc1();
XmlDocument doc2 = GetDoc2();

if(doc1 == doc2)
{

}
         


        

Answer 1

Try the DeepEquals method on the XLinq API.

XDocument doc1 = GetDoc1(); 
XDocument doc2 = GetDoc2(); 

if(XNode.DeepEquals(doc1, doc2)) 
{ 

}
