Compare two SPUser variable

Question

I validate two SPUser values inside if condition.

Both SPUser variables have values when my program runs, but when both SPUser values are same my app runs and enter inside if condition. Ideally it should not be.

Where I'm going wrong?

if (ownerUser != currentUser)
{
}

You can't compare Reference objects unless they implement IEquatable interface.

Or it should override equal method with custom implementation.

I would suggest you compare SPUser.LoginName instead.
