Get a specific TestSuite by Id using the TFS API - tfs

Question

I am trying to get a specific TestSuite using the TFS API for a TestPlan.
The TestSuite could exist anywhere within a TestSuite hierarchy, so, of course I could write a recursive function. I want something more efficient however.
Is there a method I am missing, or maybe a query that I could write?

If you already know the testSuiteId things are quite straightforward. You only need to know the name of your TeamProject teamProjectName:
using System;
using Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client;
using Microsoft.TeamFoundation.TestManagement.Client;
namespace GetTestSuite
{
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
int testSuiteId = 555;
const string teamProjectName = "myTeamProjectName";
var tpc =
TfsTeamProjectCollectionFactory.GetTeamProjectCollection(
new Uri("http://tfsURI"));
var tstService = (ITestManagementService)tpc.GetService(typeof(ITestManagementService));
var tProject = tstService.GetTeamProject(teamProjectName);
var myTestSuite = tProject.TestSuites.Find(testSuiteId);
}
}
}
If you don't, you probably need to go for a solution similar to the one presented here (it's a S.Raiten post), where recursion does come into picture. Access to a testPlanId is assumed:
using System;
using Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client;
using Microsoft.TeamFoundation.TestManagement.Client;
namespace GetTestSuite
{
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
int testPlanId = 555;
const string teamProjectName = "myTeamProjectName";
var tpc =
TfsTeamProjectCollectionFactory.GetTeamProjectCollection(
new Uri("http://tfsURI"));
var tstService = (ITestManagementService)tpc.GetService(typeof(ITestManagementService));
var tProject = tstService.GetTeamProject(teamProjectName);
var myTestPlan = tProject.TestPlans.Find(testPlanId);
GetPlanSuites(myTestPlan.RootSuite.Entries);
}
public static void GetPlanSuites(ITestSuiteEntryCollection suites)
{
foreach (ITestSuiteEntry suiteEntry in suites)
{
Console.WriteLine(suiteEntry.Id);
var suite = suiteEntry.TestSuite as IStaticTestSuite;
if (suite != null)
{
if (suite.Entries.Count > 0)
GetPlanSuites(suite.Entries);
}
}
}
}
}
