Comparing 2 custom objects - C#

Question

I need to write a generic method in the base class that would accept 2 objects as parameters and compares them for equality.

Ex:

public abstract cla

Here's what I came up with using reflection. Hope it helps.

public bool AreEqual(object obj)
    {
        bool returnVal = true;

        if (this.GetType() == obj.GetType())
        {
            FieldInfo[] fields = this.GetType().GetFields(BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Public);

            foreach (FieldInfo field in fields)
            {
                if(field.GetValue(this) != field.GetValue(obj))
                {
                    returnVal = false;
                    break;
                }
            }
        }
        else
            returnVal = false;

        return returnVal;
    }
