Visual Studio - show all calls to a function in source code level

Question

Hi all,

I am wondering if there is anyway to list all the calls to a function in source code level so that I can see the dependency if I modify that function.

One method I use is to search the function name in the "Entire Solution" but I am looking for a better way.

Thank you very much.

Cheers, Timothy

Answer 1

Right-click on the call and select "Find All References".

Answer 2

A brute force method is to change the name of the function and recompile and look at the errors. Sometimes I have trouble with the Find References functionality in VS.

Answer 3

Use NDepend. It comes with a VS add-in that allows you to do CQL queries on the fly. See this screenshot.

Answer 4

use understand for c++
