ObjectQuery<T>.Distinct Method

Definition

Limits the query to unique results.

public:
 System::Data::Objects::ObjectQuery<T> ^ Distinct();
public System.Data.Objects.ObjectQuery<T> Distinct ();
member this.Distinct : unit -> System.Data.Objects.ObjectQuery<'T>
Public Function Distinct () As ObjectQuery(Of T)

Returns

A new ObjectQuery<T> instance that is equivalent to the original instance with SELECT DISTINCT applied.

Examples

This example uses UnionAll method to create a new ObjectQuery<T> object. Then it calls Distinct on the new ObjectQuery<T> object to get the unique results of this query.

int productID = 100;
using (AdventureWorksEntities context =
    new AdventureWorksEntities())
{
    string queryString =
        @"SELECT VALUE product FROM AdventureWorksEntities.Products
            AS product WHERE product.ProductID < @productID";

    ObjectQuery<Product> productQuery =
        new ObjectQuery<Product>(queryString,
            context, MergeOption.NoTracking);

    ObjectQuery<Product> productQuery2 =
        new ObjectQuery<Product>(queryString,
            context, MergeOption.NoTracking);

    ObjectQuery<Product> productQuery3 =
        productQuery.UnionAll(productQuery2);

    productQuery3.Parameters.Add(new ObjectParameter("productID", productID));

    Console.WriteLine("Result of UnionAll");
    Console.WriteLine("------------------");

    // Iterate through the collection of Product items,
    // after the UnionAll method was called on two queries.
    foreach (Product result in productQuery3)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Product Name: {0}", result.ProductID);
    }
    ObjectQuery<Product> productQuery4 = productQuery3.Distinct();

    Console.WriteLine("\nResult of Distinct");
    Console.WriteLine("------------------");

    // Iterate through the collection of Product items.
    // after the Distinct method was called on a query.
    foreach (Product result in productQuery4)
        Console.WriteLine("Product Name: {0}", result.ProductID);
}

Remarks

This query builder method returns an ObjectQuery<T> instance that is equivalent to the original query with SELECT DISTINCT applied.

The DISTINCT operator cannot be applied to an object that includes a mapping to a non-comparable column in the data source (such as ntext).
