Question

I have two string array

string[] a; 
string[] b; 

How can I find that the sequence of element in array a is similar to array b?

As I am using .net2.0 I can’t use LINQ.

EDIT

This is what I have tried

foreach (string val2 in a)
                { 
                                       foreach (string val1 in b)
                    {
                        if (val1 == val2)
                        {
                           // Values are same - continue processing
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            // Value not same   -- exit                         }
                    }
                }

I believe you want to see if the elements in both arrays have same value and on same index. You can have a simple method like:

public static bool IsSequenceEqual(string[] a, string[] b)
{
    if (a.Length != b.Length)
        return false;
    for (int i = 0; i < a.Length; i++)
    {
        if (a[i] != b[i])
            return false;
    }
    return true;
}
