LINQ's Distinct() on a particular property

Question

I am playing with LINQ to learn about it, but I can\'t figure out how to use Distinct when I do not have a simple list (a simple list of integers is pretty easy

Answer 1

The best way to do this that will be compatible with other .NET versions is to override Equals and GetHash to handle this (see Stack Overflow question This code returns distinct values. However, what I want is to return a strongly typed collection as opposed to an anonymous type), but if you need something that is generic throughout your code, the solutions in this article are great.
