How does one determine if one work item links to another


Gaston Williams (81126) | asked Oct 06 '08, 3:43 p.m.
How can I figure out if one work item has a link that goes to another particular work item? For example if I have a handle to a work item, IWorkItemHandle, how can I determine if another work item has a link to the work item identifed by that handle?

I tried getting the endpoint of the links, but I wasn't sure how to compare them.

Thanks for your help,

Gaston

Someone sent me a suggestion by email that was a big help to me.

For comparing two items handles there is a method getItemId() on IItemHandle which returns a UUID. If the two UUID's are equal, then the two handles point to the same item.

There is also a convenience method for this:

handle.sameItemId(otherHandle);
