First Add the namespace - System.Collections.Generic and System.Linq
Now we get data into datatable :
DataTable dtt = new DataTable();
string _cquery = "Select * from table1";
dtt = du.getdatatable(_cquery);
Now apply group by clause on datatable dtt using LINQ :
var query = from row in dtt.AsEnumerable()
group row by row.Field<string>("col1") into grp
select new { AfterDistinct = grp.Key};
DataTable ddldt = new DataTable();
ddldt.Columns.Add("col1");
foreach (var row in query)
{
int i = 0;
DataRow dr = ddldt.NewRow();
dr["col1"] = row.AfterDistinct.ToString();
ddldt.Rows.Add(dr);
i++;
}
ddl1.Items.Clear();
ddl1.DataSource = ddldt;
ddl1.DataTextField = "col1";
ddl1.DataValueField = "col1";
ddl1.DataBind();
ddl1.Items.Insert(0, new ListItem("--Select--", "0"));
in this example we get data with group by clause from DataTable and bind this data to DropdownList ddl1.
Now we get data into datatable :
DataTable dtt = new DataTable();
string _cquery = "Select * from table1";
dtt = du.getdatatable(_cquery);
Now apply group by clause on datatable dtt using LINQ :

group row by row.Field<string>("col1") into grp
select new { AfterDistinct = grp.Key};
DataTable ddldt = new DataTable();
ddldt.Columns.Add("col1");
foreach (var row in query)
{
int i = 0;
DataRow dr = ddldt.NewRow();
dr["col1"] = row.AfterDistinct.ToString();
ddldt.Rows.Add(dr);
i++;
}
ddl1.Items.Clear();
ddl1.DataSource = ddldt;
ddl1.DataTextField = "col1";
ddl1.DataValueField = "col1";
ddl1.DataBind();
ddl1.Items.Insert(0, new ListItem("--Select--", "0"));
in this example we get data with group by clause from DataTable and bind this data to DropdownList ddl1.
