vb.net - Is it possible to iterate over two IEnumerable objects at the same time?

Question

If I have a List(Of x) and a List(Of y) is it possible to iterate over both at the same time?

Something like

for each _x as X, _y as Y in List(of x), List(of y) 
    if _x.item = _y.item then
        'do something
    end if
next

These lists may be of differing sizes.

I am using .Net2.0 which I suspect is my downfall here as I have a feeling LINQ would solve something like easily by joining the lists on there common id.

You could use an old-fashioned for loop. Something like

For ii As Integer = 0 To Math.Min(list1.Count, list2.Count)
    If list1(ii) = list2(ii) Then
    End If
Next
