作为一个辅助方法(没有Linq):

public static List<T> Distinct<T>(this List<T> list)
{
    return (new HashSet<T>(list)).ToList();
}

如果需要比较复杂的对象，则需要在Distinct()方法中传递一个compararer对象。

private void GetDistinctItemList(List<MyListItem> _listWithDuplicates)
{
    //It might be a good idea to create MyListItemComparer 
    //elsewhere and cache it for performance.
    List<MyListItem> _listWithoutDuplicates = _listWithDuplicates.Distinct(new MyListItemComparer()).ToList();
        
    //Choose the line below instead, if you have a situation where there is a chance to change the list while Distinct() is running.
    //ToArray() is used to solve "Collection was modified; enumeration operation may not execute" error.
    //List<MyListItem> _listWithoutDuplicates = _listWithDuplicates.ToArray().Distinct(new MyListItemComparer()).ToList();

    return _listWithoutDuplicates;
}

假设你有另外两个类，比如:

public class MyListItemComparer : IEqualityComparer<MyListItem>
{
    public bool Equals(MyListItem x, MyListItem y)
    {
        return x != null 
               && y != null 
               && x.A == y.A 
               && x.B.Equals(y.B); 
               && x.C.ToString().Equals(y.C.ToString());
    }

    public int GetHashCode(MyListItem codeh)
    {
        return codeh.GetHashCode();
    }
}

And:

public class MyListItem
{
    public int A { get; }
    public string B { get; }
    public MyEnum C { get; }

    public MyListItem(int a, string b, MyEnum c)
    {
        A = a;
        B = b;
        C = c;
    }
}

这里有一个扩展的方法来删除相邻的副本原位。首先调用Sort()并传入相同的ic比较器。这应该比Lasse V. Karlsen的版本更有效，后者重复调用RemoveAt(导致多次块内存移动)。

public static void RemoveAdjacentDuplicates<T>(this List<T> List, IComparer<T> Comparer)
{
    int NumUnique = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < List.Count; i++)
        if ((i == 0) || (Comparer.Compare(List[NumUnique - 1], List[i]) != 0))
            List[NumUnique++] = List[i];
    List.RemoveRange(NumUnique, List.Count - NumUnique);
}

在。net 2.0中还有另一种方法

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        List<string> alpha = new List<string>();

        for(char a = 'a'; a <= 'd'; a++)
        {
            alpha.Add(a.ToString());
            alpha.Add(a.ToString());
        }

        Console.WriteLine("Data :");
        alpha.ForEach(delegate(string t) { Console.WriteLine(t); });

        alpha.ForEach(delegate (string v)
                          {
                              if (alpha.FindAll(delegate(string t) { return t == v; }).Count > 1)
                                  alpha.Remove(v);
                          });

        Console.WriteLine("Unique Result :");
        alpha.ForEach(delegate(string t) { Console.WriteLine(t);});
        Console.ReadKey();
    }

扩展方法可能是一种不错的方式……就像这样:

public static List<T> Deduplicate<T>(this List<T> listToDeduplicate)
{
    return listToDeduplicate.Distinct().ToList();
}

然后像这样调用，例如:

List<int> myFilteredList = unfilteredList.Deduplicate();

简单地用相同类型的List初始化HashSet:

var noDupes = new HashSet<T>(withDupes);

或者，如果你想返回一个List:

var noDupsList = new HashSet<T>(withDupes).ToList();
