[This topic is pre-release documentation and is subject to change in future releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]

Remove subsequent consecutive equal items from a list or array. In each run of consecutive equal items in the list, all items after the first item in the run are removed. The replacement is done in-place, changing the list. A passed IEqualityComparer is used to determine equality.

Namespace: Wintellect.PowerCollections
Assembly: PowerCollections (in PowerCollections.dll)

Syntax

C#
public static void RemoveDuplicatesInPlace<T>( IList<T> list, IEqualityComparer<T> equalityComparer )

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Shared Sub RemoveDuplicatesInPlace(Of T) ( _ list As IList(Of T), _ equalityComparer As IEqualityComparer(Of T) _ )

Visual C++
public: generic<typename T> static void RemoveDuplicatesInPlace ( IList<T>^ list, IEqualityComparer<T>^ equalityComparer )

Parameters

list: IList<(Of <T>)>
The list or array to process.

equalityComparer: IEqualityComparer<(Of <T>)>
The IEqualityComparer<T> used to compare items for equality. Only the Equals method will be called.

Type Parameters

T

Remarks

Although arrays cast to IList<T> are normally read-only, this method will work correctly and modify an array passed as list.
