Get selected term level

Question

I've got a "Managed Metadata" column on a document library (required field). When I've added a document, I need to get te level of the selected term in my term store. I'm using a eventreceiver. I know how to get the value of the selected term, but not how to get the level...

Example:

• TermSetName --> level 0
  -- Term1 --> level 1
  -- Term2 --> level 1
  --- Term2.1 --> level 2
  --- Term2.2 --> level 2
  --- Term2.3 --> level 2
  -- Term3 --> level 1
  

So when I select Term2.2, I want to get the level: 2
Anyone knows how to do this?

If you have got hold of Term object, you can call its GetPath method to get a list of its ancestor separated by semi column(;). You can then split and find the index of last item in the split array. Check GetPath method here:
