Properties

	Name	Description
	AreChildrenRealized	Indicates whether the child items of an IVsHierarchyItem have already been enumerated.
	CanonicalName	Gets the canonical name of the item, corresponding to the GetCanonicalName.
	Children	Gets the child items of this IVsHierarchyItem.
	HierarchyIdentity	Gets the identity that represents this item.
	IsBold	Gets or sets whether this item should be rendered bold in an IVsUIHierarchyWindow.
	IsCut	Gets or sets whether this item should be rendered as a cut item in an IVsUIHierarchyWindow.
	IsDisposed	Determines if the item is disposed. (Inherited from ISupportDisposalNotification.)
	Parent	Gets the parent IVsHierarchyItem for this item.

Remarks

An IVsHierarchyItem has an associated IVsHierarchyItemIdentity that defines the IVsHierarchy/item identifier or IVsHierarchy/item identifier pair that represents the item. This interface also lets you get properties like text for the items and to enumerate its child and parent items.

A single item in the Solution Explorer (for example, a C# project node) can actually be composed of two different IVsHierarchy implementations with two different item identifiers. As a specific example, the “solution” is an IVsHierarchy representing the “tree” of items in the solution, but the solution’s IVsHierarchy does not know about the content of projects. A specific C# project in the solution is also a separate IVsHierarchy. The node representing the project itself might be node #50 in the IVsHierarchy for the solution, and node VSITEMID_ROOT in the IVsHierarchy for the project. IVsHierarchyItemIdentity and IVsHierarchyItem bind together these two different IVsHierarchy and item identifiers into a single concept.
