Distinct in linq?

Question

I am wondering how can I achieve this?

I want to get only distinct names from a collection of objects

MyObject a = new Object();
a.Name = \'One\';
a.         


        

Answer 1

You can implement your class so the linq distinct operator does not use the default equality comparer.

class YourClass:IEquatable 
{

... Your implementation details. ...

    public bool Equals(YourClass other)
    {
        if (Object.Equals(this, other))
        {
            return true;
        }
        else
        {
            if(Name == other.Name && Value == other.Value)
            {
                return true;
            }
            else
            {
                return false;
            }
        }
    }

 public override int GetHashCode()
 {
     return Name.GetHashCode() ^ Value.GetHashCode();
 }

}
