c# select unique values from list code example

Example 1: how to get unique list in c#

using(var dataModel = new DataModel())
{
  var classes = dataModel.Attributes.Where(a => a.Field == "Class").Select(a => a.Key).Distinct().ToList();
}

Example 2: c# get distinct values all fields from list

if (!IsPostBack) {  
       GridView1.DataSource = GetProducts()
                              .GroupBy(o => new { o.Make, o.Model })
                              .Select(o => o.FirstOrDefault());
       GridView1.DataBind();
}

Example 3: c# list with only unique items

If your requirements are to have no duplicates, you should be using a HashSet.
HashSet.Add will return false when the item already exists (if that even matters to you).
