We currently have multiple .NET projects that we have developed using Visual Studio. Each project has a reference to a shared dll that contains some helper classes.
Let’s say I have an instance class named ‘Helper1’ with a public method named ‘Save()’. Does anyone know of a way for me to search a group of projects to determine which projects/line the Save() method belonging to the Helper1 class is being invoked?
Basically, I want a list of where the Helper1 class’ Save() method is being used among multiple projects.
This is not as simple as doing a text search. There could be many other classes in these projects that also have a Save() method which is being invoked, but I don’t care about them. I only want to know about the Save() method belonging to the Helper1 class.
This means, the tool performing the search needs to be smart enough to understand the current namespace it is searching in. When a Save() method is found, the search tool needs to determine if the Save() method belongs to the Helper1 class or to some other class.
Note: There is no dynamic dependency injection happening in these projects, so we know at compile time which classes are being used.
