You can do something like this:

var blogRoot = new Node(1234);
var latestBlogs = from post in bloggRoot.Children
                    orderby post.UpdateDate
                    select post;

This acheives part of it, but it's not recursive so it simply returns me the years of the folders in the root level of the blog, in my case 2010, and 2011.  Below is the code I have currently.  Thanks for the help thus far.

Dim blogRoot As Node = New Node(1133)
        Dim latestBlogs = From post
            In blogRoot.Children
        'Order By post.UpdateDatepost

        For Each i In latestBlogs
            Response.Write(i.Name)
        Next

Ah right, if you're using autofolders then you're going to have a bit of a problem.

Try this:

var blogRoot = new Node(1234);
var latestBlogs = from folder in bloggRoot.Children
                    from post in folder.Children
                    orderby post.UpdateDate
                    select post;

Hopefully my last question... so when running the following vb code...

        Dim blogRoot As Node = New Node(1133)

        Dim latestBlogs = From folder In blogRoot.Children _
        From post In folder.Children _
        Order By post.UpdateDatepost

I am getting an error telling me: "BC36593: Expression of type 'Object' is not queryable. Make sure you are not missing an assembly reference and/or namespace import for the LINQ provider." on the following line:

From post In folder.Children _

Entirely possible I didn't translate the code properly.  Thanks again!

Well I don't know if the code compiles, I'm writing it in notepad :P

Looking at the source Nodes (the type of Node.Children) is not a generic list, it's a non-generic list. You may need to do node.Children.Cast<Node>() so it becomes a generic list and you can query against it

Add the .Cast<Node>() (or what ever the VB equivalent is) to each Children accessor

Got the issue sorted, and that gets me one level deeper to the months set of folders.  Code as follows...

        Dim blogRoot As Node = New Node(1133)

        Dim latestBlogs = From folder As Node In blogRoot.Children _
        From post In folder.Children() _
        Order By post.UpdateDate _
        Select post

        For Each i In latestBlogs
            Response.Write(i.Name & "<br>")
        Next

SWEET!  Got it.  Thanks so much!  Wish I could give you a "high five" but alas I have no karma.  :-)  Thanks man!
