Clean up unused Dataset, BindingSource & TableAdapter objects

Question

I have inherited a Winforms project that has several forms with a great deal of Dataset, BindingSource & TableAdapter objects. I am sure that not all of these are required/used.

Is there a way to determine which of these objects are not used by a control (IE dropdown, textbox etc...)?

I am using VS2008

Answer 1

The easiest solution would be to go into the designer code (the Designer.cs file), right click on the component you're interested in, and select "Find References". This should show you everywhere in the code where this object is used directly.
