Given a workitem, you would search its references for 'Parent' links,
and use the handle of the workitem on the other end of the parent link.

here is how I do it for Dependancies.. (in an OperationAdvisor)


					IWorkItemReferences iwr = &#40;&#40;ISaveParameter&#41; data&#41;.getNewReferences&#40;&#41;;

					// and only the depends on links

					List&lt;IReference&gt; wir = iwr.getReferences&#40;WorkItemEndPoints.DEPENDS_ON_WORK_ITEM&#41;;

               // loop thru the workitems this one depends on

               for&#40;int j=0;wir!=null &amp;&amp; j&lt;wir.size&#40;&#41;;j++&#41;

               &#123;

	             if&#40;Debug&#41; System.out.println&#40;&quot;looping thru references&quot;&#41;;

                     // if this is to an item.. should always be

                     if&#40;wir.get&#40;j&#41;.isItemReference&#40;&#41;&#41;

                     &#123;	

                             // get the item, and it SHOULD always be a workitem

                             IWorkItem r = iac.resolveAuditable&#40;

                             &#40;IWorkItemHandle&#41;wir.get&#40;j&#41;. 

                             resolve&#40;&#41;,IWorkItem.FULL_PROFILE, null&#41;;
