Unused code finder

[Frank Rizzo]

I inherited a solution that literally has hundreds of forms, regular
user controls, composite user controls, etc... Needless to say, the
solution takes its sweet time when loading.

Is there a tool that will go through the project and give me a report on
unused forms, controls, references, code, etc...

There used to be a tool like this in the vb6 days, but I can't remember
it now.

Thanks.

I believe you can filter what you see in your error view, but after just
trying to do so myself, I can't figure it out.

Eclipse for Java has this wonderful plugin called Checkstyle, and it
would seem to me that a C# version could be ported quite easily.

Checkstyle does a heck of a lot more than check for unused code, though.

I'll play with it tonight a bit and see if I can come up with something
useful.
