Without understanding your structure to much, or what you are trying to do, you might be able to use some of these methods in various combinations to get what you want:

   var currentNode = Node.GetCurrent();

//return all children of the currentNode of the specified type  

 var dt = currentNode.ChildrenAsTable("BlogPost");

//return all children regardless of type
   var dt = currentNode.ChildrenAsTable();

//return all children as a list
   var dt = currentNode.ChildrenAsList();

Hi Suzyb,

There's a helper library called uQuery in uComponents that has just such method to return a collection of nodes by their document type:

using uComponents.Core;
using uComponents.Core.uQueryExtensions;

foreach(Node programTypeNode in uQuery.GetNodesByType("Program type"))
{
  foreach(Node programNode in programTypeNode.GetChildNodes())
  {
    ...
  } 
}

HTH,

The Program Type nodes are the same level as my Home node.  The structure is like this

Content
-- Home
-- Program type
------- program

Program type and program aren't actually pages.  The home page needs to contain a list of all the program types and programs available and I wanted this to be stored in the CMS so it was easy to change.

To dipslay the list on the home page I use an xslt macro and select the program type nodes using

$currentPage/ancestor::root//ProgramType

but I need to do is that in C#.

I have tried getting the parent node of the current one (which should be the root) but it throws an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

Thanks Hendy

I didn't realise you could select the root node using -1.  Using that, this is what I've ended up with.

Node rootNode = new Node(-1);
foreach (Node n in rootNode.Children)
{
     if (n.NodeTypeAlias == "ProgramType")
     {
         programs.Add(n.Id.ToString(), n.Name);
         foreach (Node child in n.Children)
         {
              programs.Add(child.Id.ToString(), "----- " + child.Name);
         }
      }
}

is working on a reply...
