Hi Santhosh,

The simplest way to convert List to Set in Salesforce is given below:      
List<String> tempList = new List<String>();
Set<String> tempSet = new Set<String>();
tempList.add('One');
tempList.add('Two');
tempList.add('Three');  
tempSet.addAll(tempList);

tempList is List datatype and tempSet is Set datatype.
Add some values to List datatype and use addAll() to add it to Set datatype.

Hope this helps you!
Best Regards,
Deepthi

Hi Santhosh, 

Please see below code for your referene. 

List<String> lstString = new List<String>();
Set<String> setString = new Set<String>();

for(Integer i=0; i < 10; i++)
{
    lstString.add('Test'+i);
}

setString.addAll(lstString); //It will not allow duplicate values

Thanks,
Prem Anandh

Hi have a doubt  set do not accepts duplicates then how can I  check the element is existed or not if  we converted list to set only unique  elements get stored.
