Eliminate consecutive duplicates of list elements

Question

Is there a \"nice\" way to eliminate consecutive duplicates of list elements?

Example:

[\"red\"; \"red\"; \"blue\"; \"green         


        

Answer 1

Resolution:

IList stringList = new List() { "red", "red", 
                                                "blue", "green", 
                                                "green", "red", 
                                                "red", "yellow", 
                                                "white", "white", 
                                                "red", "white", "white" };      
  for (int i = 0; i < stringList.Count; i++)
  {
    // select the first element
    string first = stringList[i];

    // select the next element if it exists
    if ((i + 1) == stringList.Count) break;
    string second = stringList[(i + 1)];

    // remove the second one if they're equal
    if (first.Equals(second))
    {
      stringList.RemoveAt((i + 1));
      i--;
    }
  }

correct me in the comments if something is wrong please!

/e: Edited code so it works on "white","white","white","white"
