Get All Children to One List – Recursive C#

You can do SelectMany

List<Location> result = myLocationList.SelectMany(x => x.Children).ToList();

You can use where condition for some selective results like

List<Location> result = myLocationList.Where(y => y.ParentID == someValue)
                                      .SelectMany(x => x.Children).ToList();

If you only required Id’s of Children you can do

List<long> idResult = myLocationList.SelectMany(x => x.Children)
                                    .SelectMany(x => x.ID).ToList();
