I was looking for a simple way of comparing two byte arrays and it is not as 123 as you may think as methods which you may assume would return true, DO NOT. I found a solution that does exactly what I need and is part of the framework, and I found it on the link below. It also contains examples at the beginning which may surprise you:

To summarize the method I am speaking of is the following:
public static bool SequenceEqual<TSource>(this System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<TSource> first, System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<TSource> second)
Member of System.Linq.Enumerable
Summary:
Determines whether two sequences are equal by comparing the elements by using the default equality comparer for their type.And it was from a comment may by a guy calling himself RichB in the blog post above. Great find!
Cheers,
