Find duplicates in List(Of String) in VB.NET

Question

I have a customers List(of String) on which I am trying to find the duplicate customers.

If Not customers.Count = customers.Distinct.ToList.Coun         


        

Answer 1

The VB version:

Dim duplicates = listOfItems.GroupBy(Function(i) i)_
                            .Where(Function(g) g.Count() > 1)_
                            .[Select](Function(g) g.Key)

C#:

var duplicates = customers.GroupBy(x => x)
                          .Where(g => g.Count() > 1)
                          .Select(g => g.Key);
