Comparing two structs using ==

You need to overload the == and != operators. Add this to your struct:

public static bool operator ==(CisSettings c1, CisSettings c2) 
{
    return c1.Equals(c2);
}

public static bool operator !=(CisSettings c1, CisSettings c2) 
{
   return !c1.Equals(c2);
}

When you override the .Equals() method, the == operator is not automatically overloaded. You need to do that explicitly.
