Parameters

source

The tree traversable for which the recursion will be prevented.

The value of this parameter cannot be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Type Parameters

T

The type of objects to traverse.

Return Value

If a node is to be returned that has already been traversed, it is still returned; only its children are not traversed again. The result thus allows reconstruction of the original tree, if so required.

This is an extension method (info: C#, VB.NET). In languages that have support for extensions methods (such as C# and VB.NET), you can use the extension method as if it were a regular method on the object that is its first parameter. In other languages (such as with Python.NET), you will call the extension as a static method, and pass it the object on which it acts as its first parameter.
