Hi,

HierarchicalTaxonomy inherits from Taxonomy base class where the Taxa is ot type IList<Taxon>, HierarchicalTaxon have Subtaxa of type IList<HierarchicalTaxon>

That's what I mean...why do we have to do some casting, can't it be more elegant than that?

TaxonomyManager manager = TaxonomyManager.GetManager();

var taxonomyParent = manager.GetTaxonomies<HierarchicalTaxonomy>().FirstOrDefault(x => x.Name == fieldName);

var taxons = taxonomyParent.Taxa.Where(x => categories.Contains(x.Id)).Select(x => (HierarchicalTaxon)x);

return taxons.ToList();

...or whatever
