In Visual Studio, I can right-click a class or method and choose “Find usages”. That gives me a list of places in my solution where that piece of code is used. How can I do the same from my code?

You would need to parse your code to do this. I don’t think you could do it with reflection. MS have been working on a project called Roslyn. This is kind of an API for the .NET compiler. It should provide you with what you need. Check out this post for details of the Roslyn project.
