Remarks

The parent of an object is the collection of which it is a member in the DTS hierarchy. The parent of a collection is the object above it in the hierarchy. The parent of the Package object is itself.

Note  Microsoft® Visual C++® and C applications obtain references on the parent object. The applications must release their references using the IUnknown::Release method.
