Structure Comparer

Available on NuGet as well: https://www.nuget.org/packages/StructureComparer

###Description

A .NET library that it allows for comparison of primitive, value and enum types. It can be used to ensure the equality between entities.

###Example Usage###

Use StructureComparer static class and the Compare method to do comparisons.

StructureComparer.Compare

Example 1 ( Check the equality using object types )####

var customer = new Customer();
var customerDto = new CustomerDTO();

var result = StructureComparer.Compare(typeof(customer), typeof(customerDto));

Example 2 ( Check the equality using generics )####

var result = StructureComparer.Compare<Customer, CustomerDTO>();

Comparison Result

The StructureComparisonResult class contains the result of comparison between entry types.

• AreEqual ( compared objects are equal? )
• DifferencesString ( result with the differences found ) - Example:

Failed to validate structures. Type 1: 'Int32', Type 2: 'Int16'. Property name: 'Id'
Failed to validate structures. Type 1: 'FakeEnum', Type 2: 'FakeEnumDifferentNames'. Property name: 'Enum'
Failed to validate structures. Type 1: 'FakeEnum', Type 2: 'FakeEnumDifferentNames'. Reason: divergent enum names. Property name: 'Enum' from 'FakeClass3' from 'FakeClass2'
Failed to validate structures. Type 1: 'FakeClass1', Type 2: 'FakeClass1'. Reason: property name 'FullName' was not found in type 'FakeClass1'
