XUnit Assertion for checking equality of objects

I had similar issue, but then luckily I am already using

using Newtonsoft.Json;

So I just had to serialize it to json object then compare as string.

var obj1Str = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(obj1);
var obj2Str = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(obj2);
Assert.Equal(obj1Str, obj2Str );

FluentAssertions library has some pretty powerful comparison logic inside.

myObject.ShouldBeEquivalentTo(new { SomeProperty = "abc", SomeOtherProperty = 23 });

You can even use this to assert on part of "myObject". However, it might not help you with the private fields.
