TaxonomySession txnSession = new TaxonomySession(sSite);

string strTermStoreName = "Managed Metadata Service";

Group group = termstore.Groups["GroupName"];

TermSet tsRegion = group.TermSets["TermSet name"];
DataTable dtMMSRegion = GetTermSet(tsRegion.Terms);

            DataRow drMMSTermRow;

            foreach (Term t in tc)
            {
                drMMSTermRow = dtMMSTermTable.NewRow();
                drMMSTermRow[0] = t.Name;
