How to find dependancies for SQL server

We could use sp_depends XXXXXXXXX system stored procedure to retrieve all the dependant components. But sometime this SP doesn't list all of them. So to be on a safer side in addition to sp_depends use the following steps:
1. Get ObjectID from Sysobjects table.
    --> Select * from Sysobjects where name like 'XXXXXXXX' - Get ObjectID
2. Next, Get the objects from Sysobjects table where the parentid = ObjectID
    --> Select * from Sysobjects where ParentID=ObjectID
