Retrieving the parent URI of a BluePrinted component based on the URI of a child component

Does anyone know how can I find the URI of a parent Component based on the URI of a shared or localized component in a child publication in SDL Tridion using the Core Service?

Solution

  • Here's is simpler approach than the one that Nuno is proposing and you don't need to reference any dlls

    var parentComponentid = ClientAdmin.GetTcmUri(component.Id, component.BluePrintInfo.OwningRepository.IdRef, null);

    GetTcmUri method is good for getting any TcmUris - just pass publication id you want your item in and Id of item in current publication. This way you can also find ID of a given item in particular child publication
