Description

This issue has been moved from a ticket on Developer Community.

[severity:It bothers me. A fix would be nice]

  1. I implement add-remove accessors of an event
  2. I can't see them in FindAllReferences panel if I launch it on add or remove keyword . Simply, if I need to see just add or exclusively remove event accessor reference , there is no reference displayed . This feature , which works pro properties and getters or setters , doesn't work for events . These event accessor are also not distinguished by read/write Kind search attribute , so further filtering in All References panel is also inefficient .

Research direction
Investigate how the Find All References feature handles event accessors in Roslyn. The issue indicates that add and remove accessors of events are not included in the results. Look at the symbol finder and reference resolver to understand why they are omitted. Add tests to verify the fix.
