I have a list of objects, GroupStudentStatus, that I need to make distinct.
I wrote the class below to do this.
The 2 attributes that are relevant are GroupStudentStatus.IsLastActionRemoved (DateTime) and GroupStudentStatus.Student.Guid.
protected List<GroupStudentStatus> RemovedStudents
{
get
{
return AllStudents.Where(s => s.IsLastActionRemoved).Distinct().OrderByDescending(d => d.LastActionDate).ToList();
}
}
public class GroupStudentStatusComparer : IEqualityComparer<GroupStudentStatus>
{
public GroupStudentStatus Compare(GroupStudentStatus x, GroupStudentStatus y)
{
//get the student that was last removed
if (!Equals(x, y))
{
return x.LastActionDate > y.LastActionDate ? x : y;
}
return x;
}
public bool Equals(GroupStudentStatus x, GroupStudentStatus y)
{
return x.Student.Guid.Equals(y.Student.Guid);
}
public int GetHashCode(GroupStudentStatus obj)
{
return obj.Student.Guid.GetHashCode();
}
}
I think this is right, except I can't figure out how to test it.
I was trying to do this:
return AllStudents.Where(s => s.IsLastActionRemoved)
.Distinct(new GroupStudentStatusComparer((x, y) => x.Compare(x,y)))
.OrderByDescending(d => d.LastActionDate).ToList();
