The easy part of your question is to compare to objects. You need to write code. You need to override the Equals operator as shown in https://www.infoq.com/articles/Equality-Overloading-DotNET/

But before getting there, you will need to parse your file. It looks like it is a text file and that you have labels. You will need to read line-by-line and fill a class instance with the values before you call your overridden Equals operator.

Hi Hakan;

A little more information would be helpful. Such as, one row in the file has only one piece of information for example, User=John Doe? Or are there multiple info on one line in the file? Are the information in any order? What is the delimiter between multiple information belonging to different objects that belong to different classes? Do you have a list of properties that will belong to the class that you wish to fill?
