linq query to return distinct field values from a list of objects

Question

class obj
{
    int typeId; //10 types  0-9 
    string uniqueString; //this is unique
}

Assume there is list with 100 elements of obj, but only 10

Answer 1

I think this is what your looking for:

    var objs= (from c in List_Objects 
orderby c.TypeID  select c).GroupBy(g=>g.TypeID).Select(x=>x.FirstOrDefault());
