Set collection preserving insertion order

Question

I need a collection that behaves as Set and preserves order of element insertion. Is there one or I'll have to implement it myself? What would the best implementation be?

Accepted Answer

It doesn't exist in .NET, but you can emulate it using a `List` and the `Distinct` LINQ extension method, which should preserve the order of the underlying `List`.
