Building and Running the Generate Managed Metadata Hierarchy Sample
Test this project on your development site or test site.
Building the Sample
In Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, open the *.sln file.
On the Properties pane, change the Site URL value to be the absolute address of your development test site. For example, http://MyDevServer/. Ensure that you include the closing forward slash.
Running the Sample
This code sample generates the taxonomy path for a term up to the parent. It is based on getting the property from a field that is set on a document set, but you can use it for other scenarios.
Note
The sample assumes that the hierarchy is no more than 10 terms deep and that the term is used only in one term set.
