	IVsHierarchy^ pHierDependentOn,
	[OutAttribute] int% pfIsDependentOn
)

Parameters

pHier: Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop::IVsHierarchy^
[in] Pointer to the IVsHierarchy object of a project to check for dependency on pHierDependentOn.

pHierDependentOn: Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop::IVsHierarchy^
[in] Pointer to an IVsHierarchy object of a project that pHier may be dependent on.

pfIsDependentOn: Type: System::Int32
[out] The flag is set true if the dependency relationship exists, otherwise it is set to false.

Remarks

COM Signature

From vsshell.idl:

C++

HRESULT IVsSolutionBuildManager2::QueryProjectDependency(
   [in] IVsHierarchy *pHier,
   [in] IVsHierarchy *pHierDependentOn,
   [out] BOOL *pfIsDependentOn
);

This method can be used to check if one project is dependent on another project. *pfIsDependentOn is true if pHier depends on pHierDependentOn.

Note
You should call CalculateProjectDependencies if there is any uncertainty that the dependencies are up-to-date.
