To locate usages of a specific symbol:
- Select the symbol you want to search for in Class View or Object Browser, or position the caret at the symbol in the editor, and press Alt + F7 . (Alternatively, right-click on the symbol you want to search for in Class View, Object Browser, or in the editor, and select Find Usages from the popup menu.)
- Search results are displayed in the Find Resultsview. Search time may vary depending on the project/solution size and the options selected (in the case of Find Usages (Advanced)).
When you try to search for usages of an overriding member of a derived class (or an implementation of an interface method) the following dialog is displayed:
- Click No to search for usages of the overriding member only.
- Click Yes to search for usages of the overriden member from the base class (respectively, implemented interface member) instead.
The same prompt appears when you try to perform an advanced search of an overloading member/implementation (see Find Usages (Advanced)).
Tip In the editor you can navigate to the next (previous) usage with the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Alt + Up (respectively, Ctrl + Alt + Down). A previous run of Find Usages or Find Usages (Advanced) search is required.
