.NET Forum / Languages / C# / October 2007Finding Dead Members
I inherited a large quantity of legacy code, and I very frequently find methods, constants, properties, variables, etc., that are no longer referenced by any code. Does anyone know of that can display a list of assembly or solution members that aren't actually referenced anywhere within the assembly or solution? You could use Reflector to do this. If you highlight a method, you can right click and select "analyze", which then gives you a pane in the right hand side of the app which would then have a number of elements to tell you how it is used in the rest of the assembly (and any other assemblies which are currently loaded into Reflector).

ReSharper is pretty good at this kind of analysis > I inherited a large quantity of legacy code, and I very frequently > find methods, constants, properties, variables, etc., that are no > longer referenced by any code.

Plus they have a 30 day free trial so you can clean up your code before it expires without having to buy it. It's worth the cost, though.
