Real-world examples of recursion [closed]

Answer 1

Disabling/setting read-only for all children controls in a container control. I needed to do this because some of the children controls were containers themselves.

public static void SetReadOnly(Control ctrl, bool readOnly)
{
    //set the control read only
    SetControlReadOnly(ctrl, readOnly);

    if (ctrl.Controls != null && ctrl.Controls.Count > 0)
    {
        //recursively loop through all child controls
        foreach (Control c in ctrl.Controls)
            SetReadOnly(c, readOnly);
    }
}
