    Hi,

    Each web part added to a page is stored in the page itself. There's no central store that records where each web part is used. You need to iterate through every web part page in the site to retrieve this information. On each page you should then check the assembly names of the web parts programmatically.

    Or you can list all web parts in a site collection using Powershell, you also firstly loop through all pages in the site, then find all web parts in a page:http://www.glynblogs.com/2011/07/listing-all-web-parts-in-a-site-collection-with-powershell.html

    You can do it by using the SQL query below;

    NOTE: You want to run the query on none-production farm or make sure you have backup of your DB (Hope you are familiar with Microsoft-sharepoint supportability on querying the DB)

     

    "

    select u.tp_Login as [User Alias], tp_DisplayName as [View Name], d.DirName + '/' + d.LeafName as [URL], w.tp_ZoneID

    from AllDocs d with(nolock)

    join WebParts w

    on w.tp_PageUrlID = d.Id

    left outer join UserInfo u

    on w.tp_UserID = u.tp_ID

    where w.tp_WebPartTypeId = '2A441B55-42A8-7EE8-A573-12530DBD02A8'

    order by [User Alias] DESC

    " 

    Replace the WEbPartTypeId with the guid of the web part you are working on. Another advantage of the query above, it will return web parts added on personal views too (admins cannot see web part on personal view through GUI)

    Let me know how that goes!
