Unique list of items using LINQ

Question

I\'ve been using LINQ for a while now, but seem to be stuck on something with regards to Unique items, I have the folling list:

List stock = new Lis         


        

Answer 1

I probably don't understand the question, but this sounds to me like a pretty simple Linq-query:

List stock = new List();
... populate your list as per your example

List kitchenAppliances =
    (from obj in stock
     where obj.Type == "Kitchen Appliance"
     select obj).ToList();

or if you prefer the extension-method syntax:

List kitchenAppliances =
    stock.Where(obj => obj.Type == "Kitchen Appliance").ToList();

What I don't understand is your usage of distinct and unique in this context. The objects are already unique, and it seems to me that you want a basic query "give me all kitchen appliances".
