How to get distinct values from an array in C#? [duplicate]

Answer 1

Use the Distinct method in LINQ.

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb348436.aspx

            List ages = new List { 21, 46, 46, 55, 17, 21, 55, 55 };

            IEnumerable distinctAges = ages.Distinct();

            Console.WriteLine("Distinct ages:");

            foreach (int age in distinctAges)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(age);
            }

            /*
             This code produces the following output:

             Distinct ages:
             21
             46
             55
             17
            */
