foreach(var t in tags) { <a href="?tag=@t">@t</a><br /> }
}
but how can I get a unique list of these tag values? Currently it will get all the tags within the nodes for that doc type, so if a tag has been used on two nodes for example it will show that tag name twice, which I dont want. I just want unique values.
You've got a few options, here are a couple I can think of off the top of my head. Not sure how efficient these are:
Using a HashTable (only unique values are stored):
@{ var allNodesWithTags = Model.Clients.Where("clientTags != @0", "");
HashSet<string> tags = new HashSet<string>(); foreach (var node in allNodesWithTags) { foreach (string tag in node.clientTags.ToString().Split(',')) { tags.Add(tag); } }
foreach (string tag in tags) { <a href="?tag=@tag">@tag</a><br /> } }
Using LINQ's Distinct() method on a List:
@{ var allNodesWithTags = Model.Clients.Where("clientTags != @0", "");
List<string> tags = new List<string>(); foreach (var node in allNodesWithTags) { tags.AddRange(node.clientTags.ToString().Split(',')); }
foreach (string tag in tags.Distinct()) { <a href="?tag=@tag">@tag</a><br /> } }
unique tag values
I am wanting to display a unique list of tags which can be placed on muliple nodes for a given document type.
Here is what I have so far...
@{
var allNodesWithTags = @Model.Clients.Where("clientTags != \"\"");
}
@foreach (var item in allNodesWithTags)
{
string[] tags = @item.clientTags.ToString().Split(',');
foreach(var t in tags)
{
<a href="?tag=@t">@t</a><br />
}
}
but how can I get a unique list of these tag values? Currently it will get all the tags within the nodes for that doc type, so if a tag has been used on two nodes for example it will show that tag name twice, which I dont want. I just want unique values.
Thanks in advance!

Absolute star, thank you, worked a treat!
