eliminate duplicates in array?
Cynic,
You will need to write some code to do it. Something like:
Dim a As New ArrayList()
a.AddRange(New Integer() {1, 2, 5, 2, 3, 4, 5})
a.Sort()
Dim i As Integer = 1
While i <= a.Count - 1
If CInt(a(i)) = CInt(a(i - 1)) Then
a.RemoveAt(i)
Else
i += 1
End If
End While
Granted you could generalize this using the IComparable interface...
Hope this helps
Jay
