Recursive List Flattening

Question

I could probably write this myself, but the specific way I\'m trying to accomplish it is throwing me off. I\'m trying to write a generic extension method similar to the oth

Answer 1

Basicly, you need to have a master IENumerable that is outside of your recursive function, then in your recursive function (Psuedo-code)

private void flattenList(IEnumerable list)
{
    foreach (T item in list)
    {
        masterList.Add(item);

        if (item.Count > 0)
        {
            this.flattenList(item);
        }
    }
}

Though I'm really not sure what you mean by IEnumerable nested in an IEnumerable...whats within that? How many levels of nesting? Whats the final type? obviously my code isn't correct, but I hope it gets you thinking.
