Possible Duplicate:
Tools for finding unused references

I inherited a brownfield project and am in the process of refactoring the code to support new requirements. The number of assembly references has grown considerably over time, and I would like to know if any references are no longer being used. What is the best approach to this other than dropping the reference and trying to re-compile the code.

    You can do this with Resharper by JetBrains.

    Just right click on a reference, and choose “Find Dependent Code”. It will search the project and tell you exactly what is referencing an assembly.
