I am trying to cleanup a C# winform Project that has 50,000 lines of C# code plus all the Designer and resx code which adds up to 100,000 lines of code. In the project directory there are files not ever referenced, in the project solution there are entries for C# files that aren't ever used in the build or publish. I am in need of a tool that displays what references are actually used and their file name (Not just named in the solution).
A family of Microsoft suites of integrated development tools for building applications for Windows, the web, mobile devices and many other platforms. Miscellaneous topics that do not fit into specific categories.

Does this feature solve your problem? Find references in your code.
In the main project plus the four sub-projects there are about 100 C# .cs files that may contain a reference to another .cs file in the project, or that contains a reference from another .cs file in the project. My goal is to find the names of all of the references and then i can go through them one by one and see where they are used. Hopefully the process i just described will also identify unused references and or files that are present in the project but never used.
