How to extract a collection of different values from a list of <T> user objects?
I have a list of objects - let them say that these are orders.
OrderOrderID
Date
SalesmanId
...
I want to extract a Distinctlist SalesmanIdfrom this list. What is the best way to do this? I don’t assume that he is looping by hand ... is this?
UPDATE Thank you for your answers. I thought of an additional requirement (outlined after John Skets' answer) and encoded it as follows:
var salesusers = from s in lstOrders
group s by new { s.SalesUserId,s.Username}
into g
select new { UserName = g.Key.Username, UserId = g.Key.SalesUserId };
This works, but I'm not sure if this is the right approach or if I am behind the mark?
Thank.
UPDATE # 2: This one ran and ran - beginners like me might find answers to this related question also useful.
