Properties

GenerationId	Gets the package graph's current generation ID.
Id	Gets the ID of the package dependency. This value is available after successful calls to the Create and CreateForSystem methods.
PackageGraphRevisionId	Gets the package graph's current generation ID.

Methods

Add()	Adds a run-time reference for the framework package dependency you created earlier by using the Create method. After this method successfully returns, your app may activate types and use content from the framework package.
Add(AddPackageDependencyOptions)	Adds a run-time reference for the framework package dependency you created earlier by using the Create method, with the specified options. After this method successfully returns, your app can activate types and use content from the framework package.
Create(String, PackageVersion)	Creates an install-time reference for a framework package dependency for the current app, using the specified package family name and minimum version. When you use this method, the framework package dependency is accessible to the current user only. To create a framework package dependency that is accessible to all users, use the CreateForSystem method instead.
Create(String, PackageVersion, CreatePackageDependencyOptions)	Creates an install-time reference for a framework package dependency for the current app, using the specified package family name and minimum version and the specified options. When you use this method, the framework package dependency is accessible to the current user only. To create a framework package dependency that is accessible to all users, use the CreateForSystem method instead.
CreateForSystem(String, PackageVersion, CreatePackageDependencyOptions)	Creates an install-time reference for a framework package dependency for the current app, using the specified package family name and minimum version and the specified options. This method creates a framework package dependency that is accessible to all users, and this method requires that the caller has administrative privileges. To create a framework package dependency that is accessible only to the current user, use the Create method instead.
Delete()	Deletes the install-time reference for the framework package dependency you created earlier by using the Create method. This method informs the OS that it is safe to remove the framework package if no other apps have a dependency on it.
GetFromId(String)	Creates a new package dependency instance from the specified package dependency ID.
GetFromIdForSystem(String)	Creates a new package dependency instance from the specified package dependency ID. The package dependency is accessible to all users, , and this method requires that the caller has administrative privileges.
