Program to remove duplicate values from a generic list using C# and VB.NET

Introduction

This snippet shows how to remove duplicate values from a generic List<T>. We can remove duplicates values from list using Enumerable.Distinct() method.

C# Program:

using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace DotNetMirror
{
    class RemoveDuplicatesList
    {
        public static void Main()
        {
            List<int> numbers = new List<int> { 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 2, 4, 3, 4 };
            List<int> distinctNumbers = numbers.Distinct().ToList(); //Returns distinct elements from a sequence
            foreach (int i in distinctNumbers)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(i);
            }
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}

VB.NET Program:

Imports System.Linq
Imports System.Collections.Generic

Namespace DotNetMirror
    Class RemoveDuplicatesList
        Public Shared Sub Main()
            Dim numbers As New List(Of Integer)() From {1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 2, 4, 3, 4}
            Dim distinctNumbers As List(Of Integer) = numbers.Distinct().ToList()'Returns distinct elements from a sequence
            For Each i As Integer In distinctNumbers
                Console.WriteLine(i)
            Next
            Console.ReadLine()
        End Sub
    End Class
End Namespace

Note: If you want to order as well use 

numbers.Distinct().OrderBy(x => x).ToList()
