Is there a way to compare two RecurrencePattern objects to see if they are the same pattern?
Here's is my testing scenerio in C#:
1. I've created two (2) RecurrencePattern objects and loaded the object with the exact same pattern via the .FromiCalendar method. NOTE: I am using the demo version of iCalendar for evaluation purposes.
RecurrencePattern patternInit = RecurrencePattern.FromiCalendar("DTSTART:20040101T233000\r\nRRULE:FREQ=DAILY");
RecurrencePattern patternUpdated = RecurrencePattern.FromiCalendar("DTSTART:20040101T233000\r\nRRULE:FREQ=DAILY");
2. When I evaluate the 2 object together, the evaluation returns false when I'm expecting true since the objects are implementing the same pattern.
? patternInit == patternUpdated
false
3. When I evaluate the 2 object together using the .Equals() method, the evaluation returns false when I'm expecting true since the objects are implementing the same pattern.
? patternInit.Equals(patternUpdated)
false
4. When I evaluate the objects via the .ToiCalendar() method, they evaluate to true.
? patternInit.ToiCalendar() == patternUpdated.ToiCalendar()
true
Is using the .ToiCalendar() method the correct/preferred/best way to evaluate if two Recurrence Patterns are the same or should the RecurrencePattern objects be comparable?
Any insight would be helpful and thanks in advance for any responses.
