Example

The following example uses the RemoveDuplicates task to remove duplicate items from the MyItems item collection. When the task is complete, the FilteredItems item collection contains one item.

<Project xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">

    <ItemGroup>
        <MyItems Include="MyFile.cs"/>
        <MyItems Include="MyFile.cs">
            <Culture>fr</Culture>
        </MyItems>
        <MyItems Include="myfile.cs"/>
    </ItemGroup>

    <Target Name="RemoveDuplicateItems">
        <RemoveDuplicates
            Inputs="@(MyItems)">
            <Output
                TaskParameter="Filtered"
                ItemName="FilteredItems"/>
        </RemoveDuplicates>
    </Target>
</Project>

The following example shows that the RemoveDuplicates task preserves its input order. When the task is complete, the FilteredItems item collection contains the items MyFile2.cs, MyFile1.cs, and MyFile3.cs in that order.

<Project xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">

    <ItemGroup>
        <MyItems Include="MyFile2.cs"/>
        <MyItems Include="MyFile1.cs" />
        <MyItems Include="MyFile3.cs" />
        <MyItems Include="myfile1.cs"/>
    </ItemGroup>

    <Target Name="RemoveDuplicateItems">
        <RemoveDuplicates
            Inputs="@(MyItems)">
            <Output
                TaskParameter="Filtered"
                ItemName="FilteredItems"/>
            <Output
                TaskParameter="HadAnyDuplicates"
                PropertyName="_HadAnyDuplicates"/>
        </RemoveDuplicates>
    </Target>
</Project>
