Remove duplicates from a List in C#

Question

Anyone have a quick method for de-duplicating a generic List in C#?

Answer 1

An extension method might be a decent way to go... something like this:

public static List Deduplicate(this List listToDeduplicate)
{
    return listToDeduplicate.Distinct().ToList();
}

And then call like this, for example:

List myFilteredList = unfilteredList.Deduplicate();
