Is there way to use Distinct in LINQ query syntax?

Question

Is there way to rewrite:

var tbl = ds.TABLES;
var q = from c in tbl
        select c.TABLE_TYPE;
string s = \"\";
foreach (var item in q.Distinct())
{
    s          


        

Answer 1

The Distinct extension method in LINQ does not have a query syntax equivalent.

See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/charlie/linq-farm-using-distinct-and-avoiding-lambdas for additional information as to why.
