Generic List. Remove duplicate

Hello,

I have an Enum and a Generic.List(Of Enum)

1 Public Enum Mode
2 Count
3 Day
4 Month
5 End Enum

How can I loop, in the generic list, from the last item that was added
to the first item that was added and remove the duplicated values.

For example, if I add the following items:

1 Dim gl As New Generic.List(Of Mode)
2 gl.Add(Mode.Count)
3 gl.Add(Mode.Month)
4 gl.Add(Mode.Day)
5 gl.Add(Mode.Count)
6 gl.Add(Mode.Day)

I want to remove the items added in 5 and 6 because they are repeated
and they were added last.

Thanks,

Miguel

Miguel,
it might make more sense to restrict adding duplicates than to remove
them after adding....

Look at the Example paragraph,.

I agree with OJ. However if there is a reason why you can not do this then a
way to remove duplicates from the list is sort the list with the sort
function and then call the RemoveAll function with a predicate that compares
the previous mode with the current mode shown below:
private static Mode temp;
private static bool RemoveDuplicate(Mode currentMode)
{
bool isDuplicate;
if (temp == currentMode)
{
isDuplicate = false;
}
else
{
isDuplicate = true;
}
temp = currentMode;
return isDuplicate;

}

list.sort();
list.RemoveAll(RemoveDuplicate);
