how do I compare all the keys and values from one dictionary to another?

Title

The myDictionary.Equals(object) function just isn’t working for me so I need a better solution. Does anyone know of a way to do this? It sounds simple but I’ve been working on it for the longest while and I still haven’t figured it out yet.

Thanks and any help you can give.

Nevermind, a bit more searching on the net and I found this VERY useful C# script that does the trick wonderfully.

public bool CompareX<TKey, TValue>(
	Dictionary<TKey, TValue> dict1, Dictionary<TKey, TValue> dict2)
	{
		if (dict1 == dict2) return true;
		if ((dict1 == null) || (dict2 == null)) return false;
		if (dict1.Count != dict2.Count) return false;

		var valueComparer = EqualityComparer<TValue>.Default;

		foreach (var kvp in dict1)
		{
			TValue value2;
			if (!dict2.TryGetValue(kvp.Key, out value2)) return false;
			if (!valueComparer.Equals(kvp.Value, value2)) return false;
		}
		return true;
	}
