In Visual Studio 2012 or any free tool how can I find all the methods in my solution that reference a particular assembly? -

i'd find out places in solution call various libraries documentation.

the way i'm doing looking @ assembly in object browser find namespaces, searching entire solution "using thatnamespace", commenting using statements out, , looking @ resulting build errors.

i have feeling there better way though. isn't there?

i not sure how helpful be, if right click references directory in solution explorer, can click 'optimize references', there can see used , isn't used.

it has tree structure can dig used, doesn't tell in pop-up tool have open each file. hope helps
