Difference between “Find Usages” and “Find All References”










1















What's the difference between "Find Usages" and "Find All References" in Visual Studio (in particular, VS 2017)? They generate a different UI window so they seem like distinct features. When would they return a different set of results?

    Do you have Resharper installed? Does one of those options disappear if you disable Resharper?

  • @mjwills Ah, that might explain why I can't find "Find Usages" it in my Visual Studio.

  • I do have ReSharper installed - great catch! I'm thinking now that Find Usages is a ReSharper feature and perhaps does the same thing as Find All References.

  • @mjwills - feel free to post that as the answer so I can accept (that they are functionally the same, just that one is a VS feature and the other a ReSharper feature).
