There’s plenty of examples on how to find duplicates using LINQ’s GroupBy method, but usually they use a projection to return a new object, like this:
_filteredSubmissions = (from s in _filteredSubmissions

select new { Emails = g.Key, DuplicateCount = g.Count() }Need to validate a form field based on the value of another field in ASP.Net? The .Net Framework provides a javascript function to do just that:
ValidatorEnable(val, enable)This function takes the validator control (val) and a boolean to determine whether it should be enable or disabled.

The alternative is to set the validator’s enabled property to trigger this validator to validate itself when the user submits the form, and by using the Page_IsValid variable you can test whether the user has triggered a validation or not, then use ValidatorEnable function only after the validation has occurred when the user expects to see validation messages.
