HRESULT GetId(
  [out, retval] LPWSTR *relationshipIdentifier
);

Parameters

[out, retval] relationshipIdentifier

The identifier of the relationship.

Valid identifiers conform to the restrictions for xsd:ID, which are documented in section 3.3.8 ID of the W3C Recommendation, XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes Second Edition (http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#ID).

The method returns an HRESULT. Possible values include, but are not limited to, those in the following table.

Return code Description
S_OK
The method succeeded.
E_POINTER
The relationshipIdentifier parameter is NULL.

Remarks

The identifier of a relationship is not useful for finding relationships because it is arbitrary and local to the package.

The definitive way to find a part of interest is by using a relationship type.

Finding a part requires several steps. For detailed information about finding a part, see Finding the Core Properties Part.

This method allocates memory used by the string returned in relationshipIdentifier. If the method succeeds, call the CoTaskMemFree function to free the memory.

For more information about relationships, see the Open Packaging Conventions Fundamentals and the ECMA-376 OpenXML, 1st Edition, Part 2: Open Packaging Conventions (OPC).
