Hope this helps, am passing in an interface list, which I need to get a distinct list from. First I get an Anonymous type list, and then I walk it to transfer it to my object list.

private List GetDistinctSymbolList( List l )
            {
                var DistinctList = (
                        from a
                        in l
                        orderby a.Symbol
                        select new
                        {
                            a.Symbol,
                            a.StockID
                        } ).Distinct();

                StockSymbolResult ssr;
                List rl = new List();
                foreach ( var i in DistinctList )
                {
                                // Symbol is a string and StockID is an int.
                    ssr = new StockSymbolResult( i.Symbol, i.StockID );
                    rl.Add( ssr );
                }

                return rl;
            }
