LLblgen: Select distinct?

Question

I can't seem to figure out how I can select only distinct entries in Llblgen 2.6 self-service model

I essentially want this query.

select distinct City
from peopleTable
where *predicates*

I've got my PeopleCollection and I'm not sure if there's a distinct method I can call or argument I can pass to GetMulti().

Answer 1

Entities by definition cannot be distinct - even if they have the same value they are different rows in the same table.

You could use a TypedList or DynamicList to get a distinct list of city values - one of the parameters on the Fetch call is to get distinct items.

Or if you are using LINQ you could do

List<string> cities = PeopleCollection.Select(x=>x.City).Distinct();
