ReSharper analyzes access to collections created in your code and warns you if a collection is updated but its contents are never used in the entire solution.

To do so, mark the methods of your collection class with the [CollectionAccessAttribute], which should have one of four flags: None, Read, ModifyExisitingContent, UpdatedContent (the difference between the last two flags is that UpdatedContent means that the marked function can also add new elements to the collection).
