    Display a NodeTypeAlias Once only from a list

    Can some explains how do i get the Name of NodeTypeAlias Once only from a list of Node from a folder which contains 10 different Document Type.

    The idea behind this is to be able to display the different NodeTypeAlias once in such a way that filtering of content can be done by using css.

    I tried something like this but doesnt work. Any suggestions please? 

         string p = "";
         foreach(var i in Model.Children.OrderBy("NodeTypeAlias")){ 
            if(p != i.NodeTypeAlias){ 
               @i.NodeTypeAlias 
            }   
         }

    So far the grouping is working but how do i get it to display the value once only instead the grouping?

     foreach(var i in n.Children.GroupBy("NodeTypeAlias")){
             
                 <li>
                     @foreach(var s in i){                     
                             @s.NodeTypeAlias 
                     }
             </li>
         }

    well seems like

    if(s.IsFirst()){
     @s.NodeTypeAlias
    }

    is doing the trick

    Fuji,

    Can't you use .Distinct() to get unique doc types?

    Hi Dirk,

    Did saw a post from Tom about using .Distinct() values but didnt get to work though.

    There must be a better way instead of using Helpers here.

    Ah ok, got it, my scenario was a tiny bit more complex. Anyway, should get it working using

    var aliases = Model.Children.Select(x => x.NodeTypeAlias).Distinct();

    Hi Dirk,

    Got it working in a neater way !

        DynamicNode m = new DynamicNode(CurrentModel);
         foreach (var i in m.ChildrenAsList.Where(y=>y.GetProperty("umbracoNaviHide").Value !="1").Select(x=>x.NodeTypeAlias).Distinct()){
          <li><a href="#filter" data-option-value="">@i</a></li>    
    }
