title: Umbraco - Get Node by ID programmatically
body: <p>Running Umbraco 4x I am creating a helper method in C# that I can recursively call to create child categories of a particular node (category). </p>
  
  <p>The method takes a parentNodeID as a parameter. I need to retrieve the properties of that parent node. I know I can use the static method Node.GetCurrent() but I'm looking for something like Node.GetNodeById(parentNodeID).</p>
  
  <p>I just can't see where this method lives. I know there is the umbraco.library.getNodeXMLbyId method, but does that give me the name property of the node?</p>
