Hi Srinivas, I found the solution for you. You should write your employee class as follows. Focus on the lines in red. public class Employee : IEquatable { public string name; public int age; public override bool Equals(object obj) { return this.Equals(obj as Employee); } public bool Equals(Employee p) { // If parameter is null, return false. if (Object.ReferenceEquals(p, null)) { return false; } // Optimization for a common success case. if (Object.ReferenceEquals(this, p)) { return true; } // If run-time types are not exactly the same, return false. if (this.GetType() != p.GetType()) return false; return (name == p.name);//Here, if names are equals return true. } } That means, I wrote a value equality for the employee. If the names are same of two employee objects it will return true for Equals method. Now you can use Contains method. Employee a = new Employee(); a.name = "abc"; a.age = 18; Employee b = new Employee(); b.name = "sdf"; b.age = 18; List v = new List (); v.Add(a); if (v.Contains(b)) //If b has the same name as a it will return true. Otherwise false. { } If you have any problem let me know pls. If you find this answer useful, please tick ' Do you like this answer ' checkbox.
