Umbraco - Finding Root Node in C#

c#, umbraco

Solution

The rootnode is always available as:

var rootNode = new Node(-1);

Problem

I'm working on a backend module, so `Node.GetCurrent()` is not an option. I need to find a way to call something like `Node currentNode = new Node(parentNodeId);` and get the root node of the site. I've seen samples in XSLT, but nothing for C#. Does anyone know how I can accomplish this? Even just getting the ID of the root node so I can call `new Node()` would be great.
