Public Function DistinctBy(Of TSource, TKey) (source As IEnumerable(Of TSource), keySelector As Func(Of TSource, TKey)) As IEnumerable(Of TSource)Type Parameters
- TSource
The type of the elements of source.
- TKey
The type of key to distinguish elements by.
Parameters
- source
- IEnumerable<TSource>
The sequence to remove duplicate elements from.
- keySelector
- Func<TSource,TKey>
A function to extract the key for each element.
Returns
An IEnumerable<T> that contains distinct elements from the source sequence.
Exceptions
source is null.
Remarks
This method is implemented by using deferred execution. The immediate return value is an object that stores all the information that is required to perform the action. The query represented by this method is not executed until the object is enumerated either by calling its GetEnumerator method directly or by using foreach in C# or For Each in Visual Basic.
The DistinctBy<TSource,TKey>(IEnumerable<TSource>, Func<TSource,TKey>) method returns an unordered sequence that contains no duplicate values. The default equality comparer, Default, is used to compare values.

Public Function DistinctBy(Of TSource, TKey) (source As IEnumerable(Of TSource), keySelector As Func(Of TSource, TKey), comparer As IEqualityComparer(Of TKey)) As IEnumerable(Of TSource)Type Parameters
- TSource
The type of the elements of source.
- TKey
The type of key to distinguish elements by.
Parameters
- source
- IEnumerable<TSource>
The sequence to remove duplicate elements from.
- keySelector
- Func<TSource,TKey>
A function to extract the key for each element.
- comparer
- IEqualityComparer<TKey>
An IEqualityComparer<T> to compare keys.
Returns
An IEnumerable<T> that contains distinct elements from the source sequence.
