Body
With ReSharper you can right-click a Razor view and Find Usages, but you'd have to go through manually and repeat for all views (unless you can hook into ReSharper's API and automate it). The problem with views of course is that they're late-bound based on a convention defined in the view engine, in the case of the default <code>RazorViewEngine</code> it looks for a corresponding view in <code>~/Views/{Controller}/{Action}</code> and <code>~/Views/Shared/{Action}</code>. So it's difficult to tell at design or compile time which views, partials and templates are never used. You might approch it from the opposite angle: find which views are being used. Then diff this list against all views in the project, evaluate the results (manually and with ReSharper Find Usages) and confirm they're really not being used before finally removing them. To find the views being used you could customise the RazorViewEngine to log every time it loads a view with <code>CreateView</code> and <code>FindPartialView</code>, e.g. <pre><code>public class LoggingRazorViewEngine : RazorViewEngine { protected override IView CreateView( ControllerContext controllerContext, string viewPath, string masterPath) { LogManager.GetLogger("").Debug(viewPath); return base.CreateView(controllerContext, viewPath, masterPath); } } </code></pre> Configure it in global.asax.cs <pre><code>ViewEngines.Engines.Clear(); ViewEngines.Engines.Add(new LoggingRazorViewEngine()); </code></pre> Then extract a list of logged unique view paths to compare against your project's views. Bit of effort involved, but possibly worth if if you've got lots of unused views cluttering up the project.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
