The following restrictions apply when using the Find All References command to search for an item in the entire solution:
- Managed projects must be built to ensure Find All References finds any external references to the search item.
- Find All References must parse the source files of a project before it finds any references. In case of a very large solution, this task may take longer to complete and, also, parsing may exhaust all memory available to the IDE and cause it to become unstable.
