Comparing two SPUser in SharePoint

Recently I was working on an EventHandler, Where I have to compare the User value in the Assigned To Field of the List with the other User value. Went down to Google and couldn't find exact code I am looking for, here is the exact code that will do this.


 

SPUser spUser = GetSPUserOne();

SPUser spPrevUser = GetSPUserTwo();

For Windows Authentication This will do


 

if(spUser.Sid.Equals(spPrevUser.Sid))

{

…..

}

For FBA you have to follow this


 

if(spUser.UserToken.CompareUser(spPrevUser.UserToken))

{

…..

}


 

Hope this helps someone like me
