c# - How can I sort a list of objects by a member of each object?

class candle
{
    public DateTime date { get; set; }

    public double open { get; set; }
    public double high { get; set; }
    public double low { get; set; }
    public double close { get; set; }     
}
List candleList = new List();

Assuming I have added many candles to candeList, How can I then sort candleList by date?

Also, how can I remove all duplicate entries from candleList?

Thank you

Answer

Pretty standard, simple linq.

var candleList = candleList.Distinct().OrderBy(x => x.date).ToList();

As Adam mentioned below, this will only remove duplicate instances within the list, not instances which all of the same property values.

You can implement your own IEqualityComparer as an option to get passed this. IEqualityComparer

You may want to take a look at msdn, and read up on Linq and Enumerable Methods:
