Hi mohammed,

If you mean you have a reference to an EA.Element where Type = "Package" and you want to get the corresponding EA.Package object, simply pass the ElementGUID to GetPackageByGUID().  Both the EA.Element and corresponding EA.Package share the same GUID value.

Example:
EA.Package pkg = Repository.GetPackageByGuid(element.ElementGUID);

...Or if you are wanting to get a Package that is a sibling of your current Element, you will need to get the Parent package first, then loop it's Packages collection to find the package you want.

Example:
EA.Package parent = (EA.Package)repository.GetElementByID(element.PackageID);
for (short i = 0; i < parent.Packages.Count; i++)
{
  EA.Package pkg = (EA.Package)parent.Packages.GetAt(i);
}

I think this is effectively what qwerty was suggesting.
