How to search Hierarchical Data with Linq

Question

I need to search a tree for data that could be anywhere in the tree. How can this be done with linq?

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args) {

         


        

Answer 1

Well, I guess the way is to go with the technique of working with hierarchical structures:

1. You need an anchor to make

2. You need the recursion part

   // Anchor
   
   rootFamily.Children.ForEach(childFamily => 
   {
       if (childFamily.Name.Contains(search))
       {
          // Your logic here
          return;
       }
       SearchForChildren(childFamily);
   });
   
   // Recursion
   
   public void SearchForChildren(Family childFamily)
   {
       childFamily.Children.ForEach(_childFamily => 
       {
           if (_childFamily.Name.Contains(search))
           {
              // Your logic here
              return;
           }
           SearchForChildren(_childFamily);
       });
   }
