HOW TO: Remove Duplicate Data using LINQ

Few days back i needed to remove duplicate ITEM_ID field values of  queried data using LINQ..

So basicly all I had to do is to Group the results by ITEM_ID and then select the first returned data in each group:

var queryResult = dataVar.Contents
.OrderByDescending(o => o.ITEM_ID)
.Where(x => x.userNAME.Contains(searchKeyTxtBx.Text))     \\ filter the data
.GroupBy(p => p.ITEM_ID)    \\ Group By Item ID
.Select(g => g.First())     \\ select the first in each group
.ToList();     \\ final data have NO duplicate ITEM_ID values

How to find a control in a DataList?

How to find a control in a DataList?

Because DataList is databound control which repeats its item template as many times as there are rows in the data source. Therefore contents of

So, to locate a specific Label control, you’d first need to locate a specific dataList item, and run FindControl to it (for example DataList1.Items(0).FindControl(“label2″) ), and considering the databound nature, you’d probably want to loop through all items in the DataList’s Items collection to get to the every Label control.

VB

For Each dli as DataListItem in DataList1.Items

Dim currLbl As Label=DirectCast(dli.FindControl(“label2″),Label)

    '…

Next

C#

foreach(DataListItem dli in DataList1.Items)

{

Label currLbl = (Label) dli.FindControl(“label2″);

//…

}
