I don't know how DataTables work but can't you use a HashSet instead of a List?

hi there
sorry if its a stupid title
It's okay. People get used to describing their problems on most SE sites. We've just found they're not very useful for us. It's more useful to describe what the code does instead.
It could be the reason for the downvotes, but who can really say?
Anyway, I'm a bit disappointed that you were getting downvotes on your first post without any explanation.

Yes, I have read your post, and that's why I wanted to try to explain the subtle issues involved.
> FindMethodDefinition's goal is to compare every Mono.Cecil.MethodDefinition it comes across with FooFunc (an EnvDTE.CodeFunction as mentionned earlier). The comparison is to determine if they really are refering to the same function definition. So far, I am able to compare the functions' names and the number of parameters they have. I am well aware that it's not enough. Can someone help me improve my comparison?

Note : I have tried comparing the parameter types but I can't seem to make it work.

Things that you are not sure how to solve, should, if phrased clearly, be addressed to Programmers.se.

really 200_success?
SO requires more consise, clear issues that are self-contained.
You need to make an attempt at it yourself.
Then when you encounter a specific problem, ask Stack Overflow.
Stack Overflow is not rent-a-coder-for-free.
nono i know, I've heard that bit before
I mean, read it in existing posts
okay so I guess I'll give it a go on stackoverflow
I suppose it would be best for me to mention what attempts I've done with comparing the parameter types
because, I know it's not working as I tried it, and I'm not sure there actually is a proper way of doing it
Yes, definitely do that.
to be honest, this is why I'm here. I want to hear if there really isn't a proper way of doing it
