Comparing Two Generic Lists in C#

Today I come across the problem while comparing two different lists. The basic requirement is finding the records which are present in one list but not in other and vise versa. I thought of sharing this piece of code which might  help for you to do the same task.

Let us take the two Generic lists named timeEntryList and caseDataList. The aim is comparing these two lists and bring the results into two separate list.

   1: var auditTimeEntryList = 

   2: timeEntryList.Where(timeEntry => !caseDataList.Any(caseData => 

   3: caseData.OperatingRoom.Name.Equals(timeEntry.OperatingRoom.Name)

   4: & caseData.StartDate.ToShortDateString().Equals

   5: (timeEntry.ShiftDate.ToShortDateString())));

Now auditTimeEntryList contains the records which are not present in the caseDataList.

Let us write the code for bringing the records which are present in caseDataList but not in timeEntryList.

   1: var auditCaseDataList = caseDataList.Where(caseData => 

   2: !timeEntryList.Any(timeEntry => 


   3: caseData.OperatingRoom.Area.AreaId == 

     timeEntry.OperatingRoom.Area.AreaId


   4: && caseData.StartDate.ToShortDateString() == 

      timeEntry.ShiftDate.ToShortDateString()));

Authorization is based on database users and roles. Authorization is based on database users and roles.
SQL Server has fixed server roles such as serveradmin, securityadmin and dbcreator. There are no fixed server roles such as in sql server but it has loginmanager and dbmanager roles in Master DB to simulate  relevant server roles.
Accessing SQL Server over wire is via Tabular Data Stream (TDS) plus SSL on port TCP 1433. Using SSL is optional. Accessing SQL Azure over wire is same as SQL server using TDS but SSL is mandatory
Firewall and IP blocking is using hosted firewall. SQL Azure has built-in firewall which blocks all external IP’s until you specify to allow.
SQL Server supports native encryption at page level using transparent data current. TDC SQL Azure does not supports the native encryption.
