Converting php code to c#

[djpaul]

Hello,
I am converting a php code to c# but I'm stuck.. Or the code is stuck. whatever.. :)
In the second function, it keeps on looping now (of course) but I can't figure out who, why, or what.

First the original php code (from prestashop). The code sets the left and right values in the database. This is for the breadcrumb.

public static function regenerateEntireNtree()
    {
        $categories = Db::getInstance()->ExecuteS('SELECT id_category, id_parent FROM '._DB_PREFIX_.'category ORDER BY id_parent ASC, position ASC');
        $categoriesArray = array();
        foreach ($categories AS $category)
            $categoriesArray[(int)$category['id_parent']]['subcategories'][(int)$category['id_category']] = 1;
        $n = 1;
 
        self::_subTree($categoriesArray, 1, $n);
    }
 
    protected static function _subTree(&$categories, $id_category, &$n)
    {
        $left = (int)$n++;
 
        if (isset($categories[(int)$id_category]['subcategories'])){
 
            foreach (array_keys($categories[(int)$id_category]['subcategories']) AS $id_subcategory){
                self::_subTree($categories, (int)$id_subcategory, $n);
 
 
            }
 
        }
 
        $right = (int)$n++;
 
        Db::getInstance()->Execute('UPDATE '._DB_PREFIX_.'category SET nleft = '.(int)$left.', nright = '.(int)$right.' WHERE id_category = '.(int)$id_category.' LIMIT 1');
    }

And this is what I have done so far..:

public static void ReGenerateEntireTree()
       {
           DataTable Table = SelectQuery("SELECT id_category, id_parent FROM ps_category ORDER BY id_parent ASC, position ASC");
 
           string[,] categoryArray = new string[Table.Rows.Count, 2];
 
           for (int i = 0; i < Table.Rows.Count; i++)
           {
 
               categoryArray[i, 0] = Convert.ToString(Table.Rows[i]["id_parent"]);
               categoryArray[i, 1] = Convert.ToString(Table.Rows[i]["id_category"]);
           }
 
           int n = 1;
           SubTree(categoryArray, 1, n);
 
       }
 
       public static void SubTree(string[,] categories, int id_category, int n)
       {
           int left = n++;
           // debug 
           // Als je het proggie debugt kun je bij Edit -> Test de functies uitvoeren....
           //Endless loop... :(
           if (categories[id_category, 0] != null)
           {
               for (int key = 0; key < categories.Length; key++)
               {
 
                   int id_subcategory = Convert.ToInt32(categories[key, 1]);
                   SubTree(categories, id_subcategory, n);
 
               }
           }
 
           int right = n++;
           string SQL = "UPDATE ps_category SET nleft = '" + left + "', nright = '" + right + "' WHERE id_category = " + id_category;
           //UpdateQuery(SQL); 
 
       }

Thanks in advance!

Hello,
This was my solution. After a lot of testing, it works great now! It's a part of the free Prestashop online store.

public static void ReGenerateEntireTree()
       {
           DataTable Table = SelectQuery("SELECT id_category, id_parent FROM ps_category ORDER BY id_parent ASC, position ASC");
           Dictionary<int, int> categoryArray = new Dictionary<int,int>();
 
           for (int i = 0; i < Table.Rows.Count; i++)
           {
 
               categoryArray.Add(Convert.ToInt32(Table.Rows[i]["id_category"]), Convert.ToInt32(Table.Rows[i]["id_parent"]));
 
           }
 
           int n = 1;
           SubTree(categoryArray, 1, ref n);
 
       }
 
       private static void SubTree(Dictionary<int, int> categories, int id_category, ref int n)
       {
           int left;
           int right;
           left = n;
           n++;
           // debug 
 
           if (categories.ContainsValue(id_category))
           {
               var keysWithMatchingValues = categories.Where(p => p.Value == id_category).Select(p => p.Key);
               foreach (var key in keysWithMatchingValues)
               {
 
                   int id_subcategory = key;
                   SubTree(categories, id_subcategory, ref n);
 
               }
           }
 
           right = n++;
 
           string SQL = "UPDATE ps_category SET nleft = '" + left + "', nright = '" + right + "' WHERE id_category = " + id_category;
           UpdateQuery(SQL); 
 
       }
