Quick == in VS

[NewsBot]

Is there a way of asking Visual Studio to create an equivilence operator for structs and/or classes such that == is defined as all of it's elements being equivilent.

 

Have an example:

 

class ComplexNumber {

* private int re,im;

}

 

and ask VS to derive the equivilence relation:

 

public static bool operator== (ComplexNumber a, ComplexNumber b){

* return a.re == b.re && a.im == b.im;

}

 

 

but for much larger numbers of fields (say 20+)?

 

Before anyone suggests it, I don't want to use reflection, and although I can type them in manually, it means that if fields are added to the class later then unless someone shrewdly adds said field into the == function, it might break the equivilence.
