How do u find out if 2 strings are the same in c#?

Do you mean have the same contents, or the same reference?

Contents:
string hello1 = "Hello";
string hello2 = "Hello";

Console.WriteLi ne((hello1==hel lo2) + "");
should give you true (or 1, whatever, can't remember what .net gives us again)
but
Console.WriteLi ne(object.Refer enceEquals(hell o1,hello2) + "");
may give you false because it checks to see if hello1 and hello2 are referencing the same object in memory.

I think in this case both return true because of the way the compiler deals with constant strings... but it's easy to image a situation where it wouldn't

You could use String.Equals also. It determines whether two strings are having the same value.
