DependencyTree Class

The DependencyTree object represents a tree structure that contains SQL Server objects and their hierarchical relationships to each other.

Namespace:  Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo
Assembly:  Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo (in Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Class DependencyTree _
    Inherits DependencyTreeNode
'Usage
Dim instance As DependencyTree

public class DependencyTree : DependencyTreeNode

public ref class DependencyTree : public DependencyTreeNode

type DependencyTree =  
    class
        inherit DependencyTreeNode
    end

public class DependencyTree extends DependencyTreeNode

Remarks

The DependencyTree object represents a SQL Server object that also references child and sibling SQL Server objects. The references to child and sibling objects are represented by DependencyTreeNode objects. The SQL Server objects that the DependencyTree object and DependencyTreeNode objects represent can be obtained using the Urn property. The DependencyTree object can be navigated using the various properties such as FirstChild and NextSibling or by using the WalkDependencies method of the DependencyWalker object.
