IVectorView<Package>

IReadOnlyList<Package>

The packages on which the current package depends.

Package currentPackage = Package.Current;

Remarks

Important

Although the Package class is supported in an unpackaged process (that is, a process belonging to an app that lacks package identity), the Package.Current property is supported only in a packaged process (that is, a process belonging to an app that has package identity). To access a package's dependencies from an unpackaged process, use GetPackageInfo. And for more info about packaging, see Package a desktop or UWP app in Visual Studio.
