C# Comparing if two lists have the same order of items (alphabetical)

I'm facing a huge problem with comparing two lists. I just made copy of my first list and I tried to sort it. The problem is, I want to compare my original list and sorted one to see if they have same alphabetical order. I hope I provided enough information for my problem.
Thanks in advance
public void VerifyDataPrijave(string username)
{
List<string> listaTekstova = new List<string>(); //initializing new, empty List
var kartice = Repo.Kartice.CreateAdapter<Unknown>(false).Find(".//div[class='_63fz removableItem _95l5']");
foreach (var kartica in kartice) {
var slika = kartica.Find(".//tag[tagname='img']")[0];
var ime = slika.Find("following-sibling::div")[0];
string text = ime.GetAttributeValue("InnerText").ToString(); //loop through profile cards and getting Names as InnerText in variable text
listaTekstova.Add(text); //adding those "texts" I just found to an empty list initialized before
List<string> novaListaTekstova = new List<string>(listaTekstova); //clone (copy) of the very first one list
novaListaTekstova.Sort(); //sorting that list alphabetically (I suppose, not sure)
}
}

You can use SequenceEqual to compare to IEnumerables. In your case you can do something like this once all sorting has been done:
var isEqual = novaListaTekstova.SequenceEqual(listaTekstova);

HTML Agility Pack foreach loop not iterating for data grid (C#)

I'm a beginner programmer working on a small webscraper in C#. The purpose is to take a hospital's public website, grab the data for each doctor, their department, phone and diploma info, and display it in a Data Grid View. It's a public website, and as far as I'm concerned, the website's robots.txt allows this, so I left everything in the code as it is.
I am able to grab each data (name, department, phone, diploma) separately, and can successfully display them in a text box.
// THIS WORKS:
string text = "";
foreach (var nodes in full)
{
text += nodes.InnerText + "\r\n";
}
textBox1.Text = text;
However, when I try to pass the data on to the data grid view using a class, the foreach loop only goes through the first name and fills the data grid with that.
foreach (var nodes in full)
{
var Doctor = new Doctor
{
Col1 = full[0].InnerText,
Col2 = full[1].InnerText,
Col3 = full[2].InnerText,
Col4 = full[3].InnerText,
};
Doctors.Add(Doctor);
}
I spent a good few hours looking for solutions but none of what I've found have been working, and I'm at the point where I can't decide if I messed up the foreach loop somehow, or if I'm not doing something according to HTML Agility Pack's rules. It lets me iterate through for the textbox, but not the foreach. Changing full[0] to nodes[0] or nodes.InnerText doesn't seem to solve it either.

Thank you for the help in advance!

The problem is how you're selecting the nodes from the page. full contains all individual names, departments etc. in a flat list, which means full[0] is the name of the first doctor while full[4] is the name of the next. Your for-loop doesn't take that into account, as you (for every node) always access full[0] to full[3] - so, only the properties of the first doctor.
To make your code more readable I'd split it up a bit to first make a list of all the card-elements for each doctor and then select the individual parts within the loop:
HtmlWeb web = new HtmlWeb();
HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument doc = new HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument();
doc = web.Load("https://klinikaikozpont.unideb.hu/doctor_finder");
const string doctorListItem = "div[contains(#class, 'doctor-list-item-model')]";
const string cardContent = "div[contains(#class, 'card-content')]";
var doctorCards = doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes($"//{doctorListItem}/{cardContent}");
var doctors = new List<Doctor>();
foreach (var card in doctorCards)
{
var name = card.SelectSingleNode("./h3")?.InnerText;
const string departmentNode = "div[contains(#class, 'department-name')]";
var department = card.SelectSingleNode($"./{departmentNode}/p")?.InnerText;
// other proprties...
doctors.Add(new Doctor{NameAndTitle = name, Department = department});
}
// I took the liberty to make this class easier to understand
public class Doctor
{
public string NameAndTitle { get; set; }
public string Department { get; set; }
// Add other properties
}
Check out the code in action.

display list items into data grid view c#

I have a super-class (abstract) and then 2 inherited classes.
SuperClass: Sessions
Class 1: Cycling
Class 2: Running
I also have a list that will hold all of my objects private List<Session> allSessions = new List<Session>();
I also have declared some arrays that hold hard-coded data to populate my objects.
Also, Running and Cycling has an overridden ToString() method that displays different data depending on the class.
public override string ToString() => $"Cycle Average RPM is {AverageRpm} and Average Resistance is {AverageResistance}";
I am using a for loop to create and add new objects into my list like this
for (int i = 0; i < id.Length; i++)
{
Cycling Cycle = new Cycling(id[i], titles[i], date[i], duration[i], difficulty[i], instructor[i],
description[i], averageRpm[i], averageResistance[i]);
// Add new objects to list
allSessions.Add(Cycle);
}
I have a dataGridView that is getting everything from my list and displays it like this:
My problem now is, that I want to display only specific data depending on what you choose in the ComboBox, but something is not working,
The overridden ToString() is not added to the list for some reason and whenever I choose a different option from the ComboBox, nothing is being displayed.
EDIT 1:
// Filter Sessions by type using Linq
var sessions = new List<Session>();
var cyclingSessions = sessions.OfType<Cycling>();
var runningSessions = sessions.OfType<Running>();
listBox1.DataSource = null;
listBox1.Items.Clear();
if (cboMenu.SelectedIndex == 0)
{
// Populate GridView with data
dataDisplay.DataSource = allSessions;
}
else if (cboMenu.SelectedIndex == 1)
{
// Populate GridView with data
dataDisplay.DataSource = cyclingSessions;
}
else
{
// Populate GridView with data
dataDisplay.DataSource = runningSessions;
}
}

You need to filter your sessions list and set that as your data source you can easily filter the list using OfType from System.Linq It would look something like this:
var sessions = new List<Sessions>();
var cyclingSessions = sessions.OfType<Cycling>();
var runningSessions = sessions.OfType<Running>();
dataDisplay.DataSource = cyclingSessions;

ASP.NET Core Linq query for lists

I have this query that was recently changed to allow searches using lists. However, the logic doesn't seem correct. My initial search logic was as follows:
data = data.where(u=>u.location.contains(FilterInput.RepositoryName)).ToList();
This worked for individual inputs and the logic made sense. In the data result, check if location field contains the Input variable
However in order to handle inputs that are lists, I had to change it to the bottom code which is in this Input list, check if the it contains the location field.
The database outputs data as follows:
Output = {arhde, brhje, ckio}
That means my list input is a small section of what the database contains.
FilterInput.RepositoryName = {a,b,c}
data = (from item in dbContext.Documents
join id in initialData
on item.Id equals id.DocumentId
select new DocumentsListViewModel
{
Id = item.Id,
Name = item.Name,
ApplicationName = item.ApplicationName,
ApplicationSecretKey = item.ApplicationSecretKey,
Link = item.Link,
Location = item.Location,
FileType = item.FileType,
CreatedOn = item.CreatedOn
}).ToList();
if (FilterInput.RepositoryName.Count>0)
{
data = data.Where(u => FilterInput.RepositoryName.Contains(u.Location)).ToList();
}
I don't know if its possible to change this logic to use the first one but accomodate lists as well?

Lucene search not working

I have a function which searches some articles in the Sitecore content items and give me the value. So far I have build up my indexes and it is showing in my IndexViewer. But the return of the function is 0. I looked up this link: http://sitecoregadgets.blogspot.com/2009/11/working-with-lucene-search-index-in_25.html for more information.
protected IEnumerable<Item> ShowHomePageNews(int numOfArticles, string stringofCountries)
{
List<Item> items = new List<Item>();
Sitecore.Search.Index indx = SearchManager.GetIndex("newsArticles");
using (IndexSearchContext searchContext = indx.CreateSearchContext())
{
var db = Sitecore.Context.Database;
CombinedQuery query = new CombinedQuery();
QueryBase catQuery = new FieldQuery("countries", stringofCountries); //FieldName, FieldValue.
SearchHits results = searchContext.Search(catQuery); //Searching the content items by fields.
SearchResultCollection result = results.FetchResults(0, numOfArticles);
foreach (SearchResult i in result)
{
items = result
.Where(r => !r.Title.StartsWith("*"))
.Select(r => db.GetItem(new Sitecore.Data.ItemUri(r.Url).ToDataUri()))
.ToList();
//Lucene.Net.Documents.Field url = i.Document.GetField("_url");
//Sitecore.Data.ItemUri itemUri = new Sitecore.Data.ItemUri(url.StringValue());
//Sitecore.Data.Items.Item item = Sitecore.Context.Database.GetItem(itemUri.ToDataUri());
//items.Add(item);
}
}
return items;
}
Over here the result is 0. What I am doing wrond here?
This is the snapshot of what I am seeing in my IndexViewer:
EDIT:
I am passing a "NZ" in the 'catQuery' and I am getting the result back. Because in my index viewer I am seeing the Field Name = _name, which contains NZ in it. I got this part. However, I want my every field to be indexed. I am seeing only 3 fields in my IndexViewer: _url, _group & _name.

So your countries should be tokenized by the indexer. As a multilist, they will be tokenized by GUID. Searching for a single country by GUID with your code above should work. However, if you want to search for multiple countries, where any of the passed in countries can trigger a match, you need to structure your query differently.
CombinedQuery query = new CombinedQuery();
//apply other filters here to query if need be
//and country filter by creating a new clause (combinedquery) and "ORing" within it (QueryOccurance.Should)
CombinedQuery query3 = new CombinedQuery();
//here you would actually iterate over your country list
query3.Add(new FieldQuery("countries", country1GUID), QueryOccurance.Should);
query3.Add(new FieldQuery("countries", country2GUID), QueryOccurance.Should);
query.Add(query3, QueryOccurance.Must);
