Question

I want to get a string (str) by using below statements, it works but any suggestions to formulate this control?
because count can be “n”.

 if (a.count== 0)
 {
    str += a.Name;
 }
    else if (a.count== 1)
 {
    str += a.Parent.Name + "/" +  a.Name;
 }
 else if (a.count== 2)
 {
    str += a.Parent.Parent.Name + "/" + a.Parent.Name + "/" + a.Name;
 }
 else if (a.count== 3)
 {
    str += a.Parent.Parent.Parent.Name + "/" +a.Parent.Parent.Name + "/" + a.Parent.Name + "/" + a.Name;
 }
 . 
 .
 .
 else if(a.count = n)
 {
         //n times..
 }

Something like the following (but you’ll need to play with it to make it work):

int count = a.count;
var current = a;
for (int i = 0; i <= count; i++)
{
    str += (i > 0 ? "/" : string.empty) + current.Name;
    current = current.Parent;
}

There’re obviously a lot of corner cases, which you need to take into account.
