Is there way to use Distinct in LINQ query syntax?

Question

Is there way to rewrite:

var tbl = ds.TABLES;
var q = from c in tbl
        select c.TABLE_TYPE;
string s = \"\";
foreach (var item in q.Distinct())
{
    s          


        

Answer 1

There is no Distinct() method syntax in the language integrated query syntax. The closest you could do would be to move the current call:

var q = (from c in tbl
         select c.TABLE_TYPE).Distinct();
