Sharepoint - Get All Items in a Folder (including ALL subfolders)

I added the recursive scope to the query and had success:

SPQuery query = new SPQuery();
query.Folder = fldr;

//Recursive Scope....
query.ViewAttributes = "Scope=\"Recursive\"";
SPListItemCollection allitems = list.GetItems(query);
int filecount = allitems.Count;

Are there any better solutions?
