How to get a package having a connector

[jaro-lew]

I'm trying to find out how to get in code (C#) a Package object connected on the diagram with one element with a connector, for example of type Abstraction.

I've found out that the connector from this object connects to
package.Element.ElementID (not with package.packageID)

And here I cannot get from package.Element (this is not from package.Elements collection) to "containing" package.

ParentId is equal 0, and PackageId gives the ID of parent package of the package I need.


Can you advice me?

Use Package.Element. That holds the Connectors collection.

I have found a way:

package = repository.getPackageByGuid(packageElementTheConnectorPointsTo.ElementGUID);

Both package and package.Element have the same GUIDs

That works, but takes an internal assumption (which holds true for all EA versions, though). However, use Package.Element which is explicitly documented that way.
