最好的方法是什么?很难说，HashSet方法看起来很快， 但是(取决于数据)使用排序算法(CountSort ?) 可以快得多。

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        Random r = new Random(0); int[] a, b = new int[1000000];
        for (int i = b.Length - 1; i >= 0; i--) b[i] = r.Next(b.Length);
        a = new int[b.Length]; Array.Copy(b, a, b.Length);
        a = dedup0(a); Console.WriteLine(a.Length);
        a = new int[b.Length]; Array.Copy(b, a, b.Length);
        var w = System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch.StartNew();
        a = dedup0(a); Console.WriteLine(w.Elapsed); Console.Read();
    }

    static int[] dedup0(int[] a)  // 48 ms  
    {
        return new HashSet<int>(a).ToArray();
    }

    static int[] dedup1(int[] a)  // 68 ms
    {
        Array.Sort(a); int i = 0, j = 1, k = a.Length; if (k < 2) return a;
        while (j < k) if (a[i] == a[j]) j++; else a[++i] = a[j++];
        Array.Resize(ref a, i + 1); return a;
    }

    static int[] dedup2(int[] a)  //  8 ms
    {
        var b = new byte[a.Length]; int c = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < a.Length; i++) 
            if (b[a[i]] == 0) { b[a[i]] = 1; c++; }
        a = new int[c];
        for (int j = 0, i = 0; i < b.Length; i++) if (b[i] > 0) a[j++] = i;
        return a;
    }
}

几乎没有分支。怎么做?调试模式，步进(F11)与一个小数组:{1,3,1,1,0}

    static int[] dedupf(int[] a)  //  4 ms
    {
        if (a.Length < 2) return a;
        var b = new byte[a.Length]; int c = 0, bi, ai, i, j;
        for (i = 0; i < a.Length; i++)
        { ai = a[i]; bi = 1 ^ b[ai]; b[ai] |= (byte)bi; c += bi; }
        a = new int[c]; i = 0; while (b[i] == 0) i++; a[0] = i++;
        for (j = 0; i < b.Length; i++) a[j += bi = b[i]] += bi * i; return a;
    }

有两个嵌套循环的解决方案可能需要一些时间， 特别是对于较大的数组。

    static int[] dedup(int[] a)
    {
        int i, j, k = a.Length - 1;
        for (i = 0; i < k; i++)
            for (j = i + 1; j <= k; j++) if (a[i] == a[j]) a[j--] = a[k--];
        Array.Resize(ref a, k + 1); return a;
    }

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;


namespace Rextester
{
    public class Program
    {
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
             List<int> listofint1 = new List<int> { 4, 8, 4, 1, 1, 4, 8 };
           List<int> updatedlist= removeduplicate(listofint1);
            foreach(int num in updatedlist)
               Console.WriteLine(num);
        }


        public static List<int> removeduplicate(List<int> listofint)
         {
             List<int> listofintwithoutduplicate= new List<int>();


              foreach(var num in listofint)
                 {
                  if(!listofintwithoutduplicate.Any(p=>p==num))
                        {
                          listofintwithoutduplicate.Add(num);
                        }
                  }
             return listofintwithoutduplicate;
         }
    }



}

int size = a.Length;
        for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
        {
            for (int j = i + 1; j < size; j++)
            {
                if (a[i] == a[j])
                {
                    for (int k = j; k < size; k++)
                    {
                        if (k != size - 1)
                        {
                            int temp = a[k];
                            a[k] = a[k + 1];
                            a[k + 1] = temp;

                        }
                    }
                    j--;
                    size--;
                }
            }
        }

  private static string[] distinct(string[] inputArray)
        {
            bool alreadyExists;
            string[] outputArray = new string[] {};

            for (int i = 0; i < inputArray.Length; i++)
            {
                alreadyExists = false;
                for (int j = 0; j < outputArray.Length; j++)
                {
                    if (inputArray[i] == outputArray[j])
                        alreadyExists = true;
                }
                        if (alreadyExists==false)
                        {
                            Array.Resize<string>(ref outputArray, outputArray.Length + 1);
                            outputArray[outputArray.Length-1] = inputArray[i];
                        }
            }
            return outputArray;
        }

泛型扩展方法:

public static IEnumerable<TSource> Distinct<TSource>(this IEnumerable<TSource> source, IEqualityComparer<TSource> comparer)
{
    if (source == null)
        throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(source));

    HashSet<TSource> set = new HashSet<TSource>(comparer);
    foreach (TSource item in source)
    {
        if (set.Add(item))
        {
            yield return item;
        }
    }
}

你可以在使用数组列表时使用这段代码

ArrayList arrayList;
//Add some Members :)
arrayList.Add("ali");
arrayList.Add("hadi");
arrayList.Add("ali");

//Remove duplicates from array
  for (int i = 0; i < arrayList.Count; i++)
    {
       for (int j = i + 1; j < arrayList.Count ; j++)
           if (arrayList[i].ToString() == arrayList[j].ToString())
                 arrayList.Remove(arrayList[j]);
