Hey guys I have two list objects that I am trying to compare. I think the best way to do is use Linq. Ok my 2 lists are List(Of PermissionObj) so basicaly I am trying to return a list of the items that are not common to both lists.

VB
Dim _listOfAllPermissionGroups As List(Of PermissionGroupObj)
Dim _listOfUnSelectedGroups As List(Of PermissionGroupObj)

  For Each objMember As PermissionGroupObj In _listOfAllPermissionGroups
                    For Each objUserPermissions As PermissionGroupObj In _listOfUserPermissionGroups
                        If objMember.PermissionGroupId = objUserPermissions.PermissionGroupId Then
                            _listOfUnSelectedGroups.Remove(objMember)
                            Exit For
                        End If
                    Next
                Next


I have used a Foreach loop but for whatever reason the matched object doesn't get removed.

Thanks guys.

Hi I tried this approach but I get an IEqualityComparer exception.

Why dont you read it fully:
If you want to compare sequences of objects of some custom data type, you have to implement the IEqualityComparer(Of T) generic interface in your class. The following code example shows how to implement this interface in a custom data type and provide GetHashCode and Equals methods.

An example already there..

Ok only problem I am having is that the PermissionGroupObj is an autogenerated class that I don't really want to go messing with in case it has a knock on affect.
