  1. PO"find all references" from c# designer GUI
    text
    copied!<p>I want to "find all references" to a control on my windows form (in designer mode). This is the painful procedure I currently use:</p> <ol> <li>Click on the control</li> <li>Goto the "Name" in the property sheet</li> <li>Copy the name of control in clipboard</li> <li>Perform a find in all files, pasting the name of control to find.</li> <li>Click on an arbitrary result then right-click and then "find all references"</li> </ol> <p>I wonder if I miss something or there is really no way to perform such operation in simpler ways. Also I recently installed Resharper (for sake of other features).</p> <p>Please tell me if there is any built-in way in VS or any methods provided by Resharper or its plugins to ease such operation,</p> <p>I use VS 2010 SP1 C# and Resharper V7.0.</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong>: <em>It is much appreciated to mention whether your whole proposed solution or portions of it are based on VS, or Resharper when answering. (Because I installed Resharper very recently and not gone deep in its features yet), thanks a lot.</em></p> <p><strong>Acknowledge &amp; Conclusion</strong>: Thanks to <em>thersch</em>: His answer is like a full-article and very informative for community. Thanks to <em>wal</em>: He pointed two delicate tips (sorted-list view, skipping name look up). Thanks to both of you: You complemented the missing parts together.</p> <p><strong>Current Status</strong>: I reported the issue to developement and have requested this as a feature to be implemented in later versions of the resharper, visit the link below for tracking the current status of the issue from the tool vendor :</p> <p><a href="https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/RSRP-429747" rel="nofollow">https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/RSRP-429747</a></p> <p><em>DISCLAIMER: I have no affiliation with the tool / vendor, just a user.</em></p>
