Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared Sub AreEquivalent ( _
    expected As ICollection, _
    actual As ICollection _
)

public static void AreEquivalent(
    ICollection expected,
    ICollection actual
)

public:
static void AreEquivalent(
    ICollection^ expected, 
    ICollection^ actual
)

static member AreEquivalent : 
        expected:ICollection * 
        actual:ICollection -> unit 

public static function AreEquivalent(
    expected : ICollection, 
    actual : ICollection

Parameters

• expected
  Type: System.Collections.ICollection
  The first collection to compare. This contains the elements the unit test expects.

• actual
  Type: System.Collections.ICollection
  The second collection to compare. This is the collection the unit test produced.

Remarks

Two collections are equivalent if they have the same elements in the same quantity, but in any order. Elements are equal if their values are equal, not if they refer to the same object.
