C# LINQ counting elements with DISTINCT

Question

I have a collection of KeyValuePair items with DateTime as key and a string as value. Basically my data looks like:

12/07/2013 - 10220
12/07/2013 - 10220
12/         


        

Answer 1

Below is the solution with complete example

        var list = new[]
        {
            new {Date = new DateTime(2013,07,12), value = 10220},
            new {Date = new DateTime(2013,07,12), value = 10220},
            new {Date = new DateTime(2013,07,12), value = 12220},
            new {Date = new DateTime(2013,07,12), value = 11240},
            new {Date = new DateTime(2013,07,12), value = 15220},
            new {Date = new DateTime(2013,07,13), value = 23220},
            new {Date = new DateTime(2013,07,13), value = 35620},
            new {Date = new DateTime(2013,07,14), value = 15620},
            new {Date = new DateTime(2013,07,14), value = 15620},
        };


        var res = from l in list group l by new { l.Date } into g select new { g.Key.Date, value = g.Distinct().Count() };

        foreach (var item in res)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(item.Date + " " + item.value);
        }
