How to remove duplicates from collection using IEqualityComparer, LinQ Distinct

Question

I am unable to remove the duplicates from collection , i have implemented IEqualityComparer for the class Employee still i am not getting the output

static void Main(string[] args)     {         List<Employe> Employeecollection = new List<Employe>();          Employeecollection.Add(new Employe("abc","def"));         Employeecollection.Add(new Employe("lmn","def"));         Employeecollection.Add(new Employe("abc", "def"));          IEnumerable<Employe> coll = Employeecollection.Distinct(new Employe());          foreach (Employe item in coll)         {             Console.WriteLine(item.fName + "   " + item.lName );         }      } 

The Below is the Employee class implementation , here i implemented IEqualityComparer

class Employe : IEqualityComparer<Employe> {     public string fName { get; set; }     public string lName { get; set; }      public Employe()     {      }      public Employe(string firstName, string LastName)     {         this.fName = firstName;         this.lName = LastName;     }      #region IEqualityComparer<pcf> Members      public bool Equals(Employe x, Employe y)     {         if (x.fName == y.fName && x.lName == y.lName)         {             return true;         }          return false;     }      public int GetHashCode(Employe obj)     {         return obj.GetHashCode();     }      #endregion } 

Answer 1

Forget IEqualityComparer and just use Linq directly:

EmployeeCollection.GroupBy(x => new{x.fName, x.lName}).Select(g => g.First()); 

Answer 2

Here is a good tutorial

    public int GetHashCode(Employe obj)     {         return obj.fname.GetHashCode() ^ obj.lname.GetHashCode();     }
