SharePoint Get list item parent folder

thanks to author @ http://blogs.tamtam.nl/appie/2009/02/23/Getting+ParentFolder+From+A+Custom+List.aspx

we can use the following method to get parent folder of listitem

static SPFolder GetParentFolder(SPListItem itemToFind, SPFolder folder)

{

      SPQuery query = new SPQuery();

      query.Folder = folder;

      SPListItemCollection items = itemToFind.ParentList.GetItems(query);

     

      foreach (SPListItem item in items)

      {

            if (item.ID == itemToFind.ID)

            {

                  return (folder);

            }

            if (item.Folder != null)

            {

                  SPFolder resultFolder = GetParentFolder(itemToFind, item.Folder);

                  if (resultFolder != null)

                  {

                        return (resultFolder);

                  }

            }

      }

      return (null);

}

So adding that function allows you to get a parentfolder with:

SPFolder parentFolder = GetParentFolder(item, null);
