Using LINQ to find duplicates across multiple properties

Question

Given a class with the following definition:

public class MyTestClass
{
    public int ValueA { get; set; }
    public int ValueB { get; set; }
}
         


        

Answer 1

MyTestClass should implement the Equals method.

public bool Equals(MyTestClass x, MyTestClass y)
{
    if (Object.ReferenceEquals(x, y)) return true;

    if (Object.ReferenceEquals(x, null) ||
        Object.ReferenceEquals(y, null))
            return false;

        return x.ValueA == y.ValueA && y.ValueB == y.ValueB;
}

Here you have a good article about it.

After that you can get a "clean" list of MyTestClass with "Distinct" method.
