I am running into a strange problem with existing code in C# Windows application. The architecture of the code is in such a way that a single collection contains multiple properties. This gets populated at various places all across various modules - Just to explain lets say a property -
public Class MyCollection
{
public list<ClassA> classA {get ; set ;}
public list<ClassB> classB {get;set;}
--
--
--
-- this continues up to 20 more properties.
}
The instance of this collection is used either to retrieve the values of collections - For example getting the values -
Public void Function(MyCollection x)
{
var m= x.ClassA; //Get;
x.ClassA= function to populate List of ClassA; ( Pseudo code)
}
The problem occurs in finding out all the places in code where this collection is populated. I tried with searching references but it gives me 1000 places where this instance has reference, so this is of no help.
Fortunately the name of instance x is same all across. Is there any way or macro which can let me check wherever collection of instance is assigned ?
x.ClassA= // - find everywhere. So i am trying to search a wildcard as
x.___=
Any input is deeply appreciated.
