Utility to list classes, forms, procedures, reports where dataset used

[kizakiza]

Listing and tracking where Dataset and other items such as procedures and class methods are used within a Visual Studio project

Does anyone have or can they direct me to some code or a utility that can analyse or report the classes, Procedures, forms and modules where a particular Dataset (eg employees.xsd) is used.

Ultimately it would list all Datasets and provide a list of classes, procedures and forms where it is used.

Where a particular dataset (ie something like employees.xsd) is used by several forms and reports then I would like to ascertain for the customer what the implications of any change to that particlar dataset may entail.

I'm not sure if there is a tool or anything for this, but I do know that the VB code files are simple text files. It would be fairly easy to write an app to read through the .vb files in the project directory and find any instances of "employees.xsd". You could also check for the keywords "class", "sub" and "function" to determine where the references to "employees.xsd" are located.
