How to find,where a .h file is referenced in project, which is listed in External dependencise folder

Question

I have a xyz.h file displayed in my "External Dependencies" folder, I want to find where it is refrenced in my project. How can I find it.!? I want to remove that dependency. How to find- where a .h file is referenced in my project, which is listed in External dependencise folder. Simple search of that 'xyz.h' throught out the solution doesnt get any search result. So it is not directly referenced. Now how can I find - from where it is being referenced. I have VS 2010 with me.

Answer 1

I would simply remove/rename the header file and try to compile. The error messages will tell you where dependencies to xyz.h are.
