Hi,

Is there a tool to find if a ressource is use in a project.  
ex : I would like to know if a database connection is use in any of my project?

Thanks

There is a search (find / replace) feature in the designer. It allows you to search through tags, windows, bindings, scripts, and transaction groups. I don’t think it will help you find where you use a database connection. It can be tricky for the database since you attach a connection as the default to a project. So, all of the bindings have a blank database which means use the default.
