    Loop through children using the ContentService

    Hi folks.

    Could someone tell me if it's possible to loop through all of the children of a node using the ContentService API please?

    For instance what I'm trying to do is loop through every child of a parent node (id 1055) and check it's UpdateDate property.

    Using Nodes I can loop through the node.Children collection but I can't seem to find one for the ContentServive.

    This is what I have to get the Parent Node.

            var contentService = new ContentService();
            var content = contentService.GetById(1055);
            int myDate = Int32.Parse(content.UpdateDate.DayOfYear.ToString());

    But having got this I'd like to loop through the children. 

    Could anybody help please?

    thanks,

    Craig

    What's about this one. 

     var contentService = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.ContentService;
    foreach (var childContent in contentService.GetById(1055).Children())
    {

    }

    Hi Jivan,

    Thanks but the Umbraco.Core.Models.IContent doesn't contain a definition for 'Children'

    Sussed it.

    var contentService = new ContentService();

            string myString = "";

            var cPages = contentService.GetChildren(1055);

            foreach (var item in cPages)

            {

                //Do stuff in here

            }

    All good!
