Write utility function to get Taxonomy Terms

Question

I want to have a common usable function which can return Term object.

I thought of

public static TaxonomyTerm GetTaxonomyTerms(this SPSite site, string groupName, string  termSetName)
{

}

TaxonomyTerm is class of having property id,name. Structure of TaxonomyTerm

public class TaxonomyTerm
{
 public TaxonomyTerm()
{
    this.Terms = new List<TaxonomyTerm>();
}
public Guid Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public List<TaxonomyTerm> Terms { get; set; }
}

I need help to write this to return the instance of this class. Thanks.

Answer 1

This post covers the basics of accessing taxonomies in PowerShell - in steps -

1. Connect to target site's Metadata service.
2. Access termstore group & termset
3. Iterate through termset items

(Since it's in PowerShell - it can be translated into other languages)

Thanks Supriyo for guidance.I was also trying with similar other resources and finally could get on right track. Here it looks like what I accumulated.

                    {
                    var session = new TaxonomySession(SPSite object);
                    var store = session.TermStores[MyConstants.StoreName];
                    var group = store.Groups[groupName];

                    var termSet = group.TermSets.FirstOrDefault(t => t.Name.Trim().ToLower() == termSetName.Trim().ToLower());

                    if (termSet != null)
                    {
                        taxonomy = new TaxonomyTerm { Id = termSet.Id, Name = termSet.Name };
                    }
          return taxonomy;
                    }

            using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://servcerName:10/"))
            {
                TaxonomySession taxonomySession = new TaxonomySession(site);
                TermStore termStore = taxonomySession.TermStores["MMS"];
                Group group = termStore.Groups["SharePoint Group"];
                TermSet termSet = group.TermSets["BCS"];
                TermCollection termCol = termSet.Terms;
                foreach (Term term in termCol)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(term.Name);
                }
                Console.ReadLine();
