Remove instances from a list by using LINQ or Lambda?

Question

Now I come a stage to get all my data as a list in cache(objects) and my next thing I have to do is to remove some instances from the list.

Normally, I would do removing

Answer 1

I agree with Jared's suggestion of filtering out certain items, but it looks like a join on Value1 would be a more efficient approach:

var res = from item1 in list
          join item2 in toBeRemovedList
            on item1.Value1 equals item2.Value1
          where item1.Value2 >= item2.Value2
          select item1;

Update: Apparently I fail at reading comprehension - new approach:

var removeDict = toBeRemovedList.ToDictionary(i => i.Value1, i => i.Value2);
list.RemoveAll(item => {
    int itemToRemoveValue2;
    if(removeDict.TryGetValue(item.Value1, out itemToRemoveValue2))
        return item.Value2 < itemToRemoveValue2;
    return false;
});

Of course, it would be even better if your list to remove could start as a dictionary. Ultimately, we're just trying to make our match on Value1 more efficient.
