I have a list with two or more objects of class Agent.
Name = "A"
Priority = 0
ResultCount = 100
;
Name = "B"
Priority = 1
ResultCount = 100
;
Both objects have the same ResultCount. In that case I only need one object and not two or more. I did this with a Linq Query with Distinct and an custom made Comparer.
IEnumerable<Agent> distinctResultsAgents =
(from agt in distinctUrlsAgents select agt).Distinct(comparerResultsCount);
With this query I get only one object from the list but I never know which one. But I don't want just any object, I want object "B" because the Priority is higher then object "A". How can I do that?
My custom Comparer is very simple and has a method like this:
public bool Equals(Agent x, Agent y)
{
if (x == null || y == null)
return false;
if (x.ResultCount == y.ResultCount)
return true;
return false;
}
