Select distinct rows from datatable in Linq

If it’s not a typed dataset, then you probably want to do something like this, using the Linq-to-DataSet extension methods:

var distinctValues = dsValues.AsEnumerable()
                        .Select(row => new {
                            attribute1_name = row.Field<string>("attribute1_name"),
                            attribute2_name = row.Field<string>("attribute2_name")
                         })
                        .Distinct();

Make sure you have a using System.Data; statement at the beginning of your code in order to enable the Linq-to-Dataset extension methods.

Hope this helps!
