How to compare 2 lists in c#?
1st list,
DBvalues = [{ "_id" : ObjectId("5d98298f9110f5f13812f3c1"), "PartName" : null, "MAP" : null, "MPN" : null, "IsActive" : true, "Gtin" : "ab085347019069" }, { "_id" : ObjectId("5d98298f9110f5f13812f3c0"), "PartName" : null, "MAP" : null, "MPN" : null, "IsActive" : true, "Gtin" : "085347014064" }]

2nd list,
actualExcelvalues = [{ "_id" : ObjectId("5d98298f9110f5f13812f3c0"), "PartName" : null, "MAP" : null, "MPN" : null, "IsActive" : true, "Gtin" : "085347014064" }, { "_id" : ObjectId("5d98298f9110f5f13812f3c1"), "PartName" : null, "MAP" : null, "MPN" : null, "IsActive" : true, "Gtin" : "ab085347019069" }]

irrespective of their order/index.

What I have tried:

Tried,
1.)CollectionAssert.AreEqual(DBvalues, actualExcelvalues);

2.) CollectionAssert.AreEquivalent(DBvalues, actualExcelvalues);
Both returns false.

That is JSON data, not C# list types. You need to convert it into proper C# objects to compare.

Try again with values that are equal if you haven't done so already.

Sum hash numbers. Or some "set" operations.

Object.GetHashCode Method (System) | Microsoft Docs[^]

Set Operations (C#) | Microsoft Docs[^]
