Q:

Using LINQ to merge a list of objects

I have two lists of objects, using Linq I would like to merge them, but where the two lists contain objects with the same key, I only want the one with the greatest LastUpdated Value.
I thought that I could somehow get a list grouping by key a with max(LastUpdated) then join back to the list joining on key and LastUpdated, but there must be a more efficient way...
List<MyObject> lstListA = new List<MyObject>;
List<MyObject> lstListB = new List<MyObject>;

public class MyObject
{
    public string Key {get;set;}
    public string Value {get;set;}
    public DateTime LastUpdated {get;set;}
}

A:

One option, using DistinctBy from MoreLINQ:
var query = lstListA.Concat(lstListB)
                    .OrderByDescending(x => x.LastUpdated)
                    .DistinctBy(x => x.Key);
