trying to get only unique items from data

[jamert]

Hi the data return by a procedure has many GoalTypeIDs
and i would like to display the unique GoalTypeIDs only.
so i'm thinking that i will have to array the types and check to see if they have been used.... i am not having success with this, any suggestions ?

protected void dlGoalsDataBound(object sender, DataListItemEventArgs e)
{
ArrayList Goals = new ArrayList();
foreach (string e.Item in Goals)
{
if (e.IndexOf(Goals) < 0)
{

HyperLink tmpLnk = (HyperLink)e.Item.FindControl("HyperLink1");

Label tmpLbl = (Label)e.Item.FindControl("Label1");

Session["GoalTypeID"] = tmpLbl.Text;

tmpLnk.NavigateUrl = "~/member-area/goals/default.aspx?nav=g&id=" + tmpLbl.Text + "";
}
}
}

foreach (string e.Item in Goals)
this is the problem: Goals is empty and e.Item has nothing to do with Goals.

this next problem is
if (e.IndexOf(Goals) < 0)
DataListItemEventArgs doesn't have an IndexOf property.
