Find the pages using my page

Sometimes when you delete a page in EPiServer, it notifies you that the page is being used by another page (has a property with the page's reference as a value) and asks you if you are sure you want to delete it. Is there any way that I can make this search in my code, i.e. how can I find all the pages that has a reference to a certain page? /Erik

    I suggest looking at the Page Collection object such as \Templates\Public\Units\Static\MainMenu.ascx.cs and using each page from DataFactory.Instance, check certain properties (e.g. MainBody) for the value returned from  <EPiServer:Property ID="Property1" PropertyName="PageLink" runat="server" />

     

    Obviously this is a bit general but something along these lines - although I KNOW this isn't the most effective piece of code - can someone else help out and suggest a better way?

    Here you go: 

    using EPiServer;
    using EPiServer.Core;

    ...

    PageReferenceCollection links = 
        DataFactory.Instance.GetLinksToPages(new PageReference(4));

    Thank you for that piece of code. Simple.  Beautiful.  Simply beautiful!
