Custom Class used as key in Dictionary but key not found

Question

I have a class, show below, which is used as a key in a Dictionary I\'m having issues when trying to find any key within this diction

Answer 1

You have not overridden Equals and GetHashCode. You have implemented a second class which can serve as an EqualityComparer. If you don't construct the Dictionary with the EqualityComparer, it will not be used.

The simplest fix would be to override GetHashCode and Equals directly rather than implementing a comparer (comparers are generally only interesting when you need to supply multiple different comparison types (case sensitive and case insensitive for example) or when you need to be able to perform comparisons on a class which you don't control.
