Hi All

I have two dictionaries. Both contain Name and Value pairs. I have to compare both the dictionaries whether they contain same pairs or different pairs.

Can anyone help how do we compare dictionaries ?

Comparing Dictionaries can be quick done with the help of DataSet Operations
Lets assume following:
grafik

dict1 and dic2 are common on B20,
kindly note: C"30" differs to C30 as first one is 30 as String, second one is 30 as Integer

finding the common entries can done with the Intersect:

dict1.Intersect(dict2).ToDictionary(Of String, Object)(Function (k) k.Key, Function (v) v.Value)

finding the not common entries related to the common entries in the dict can be done with an Except:

e.g. For dict1

dict1.Except(dictCommon).ToDictionary(Of String, Object)(Function (k) k.Key, Function (v) v.Value)

For DataTables the Join DataTable Activity is helping

Fur more custom cases LINQ can often help to adress specifics
