How do I loop through parent nodes

I need to go through some CMSNodes and I'm trying to find the grandparent, under which an X number of nodes are present.

So I thought I would do something like node.Parent.Parent.. but I don't know how many parents there are...

I'm sure the answer is incredibly obvious, but I am completely blanking out here.

Sebastiaan,

You could use the Path property which specifies complete path for any given node. Or, use the Parent property and check for null (altho not sure if last method is useful)

Cheers,

Implement a recursive function for that. Do you need an example?

Thanks guys, I was just having a brainfart, I implemented it this way:

                    CMSNode grandParent = new CMSNode(parentNode.Id);
                    while (grandParent.Level > 1)
                    {
                        grandParent = grandParent.Parent;
                    }

You can also use the Path value for that:
```
CMSNode grandParent = new CMSNode(int.Parse(parentNode.Path.Split(",".ToCharArray())[1]));
```
which takes the nodeId from the level 1 node of the actual node...

hth, Thomas
