It is easy to find all code that uses a property, however how do I find the code that just sets it?
(When I do a “find all reference” on the “set”, it just does a “find all reference” on the property itself, including code that just reads it.)

Property in C# is a member of a class that provides a flexible mechanism for classes to expose private fields. Internally, C# properties are special methods called accessors. A C# property have two accessors, get property accessor and set property accessor.
On the menu bar, choose View > Properties Window. The Property Editor dialog box appears. In the text box in the Name column, specify the name of the property. For the Type field of the custom property, choose the appropriate data type.
A get property accessor is used to return the property value, and a set property accessor is used to assign a new value. In C# 9 and later, an init property accessor is used to assign a new value only during object construction. These accessors can have different access levels.
You can use Resharper.
Alternately, set the setter to private (Or comment out the setter completely) and recompile. You will get errors where you're trying to set the property.

For what it's worth, this will be natively possible with VS2019.
Specifically the 'Find All References' window has a new 'Kind' column which can be filtered for 'Write' references:
The specific Github PR that added this feature is scheduled to be included in Visual Studio 2019 Preview 2 (16.0.P2) https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn/issues/22545
The full release of VS2019 is roadmapped for Q1 of 2019.

Try commenting the set part of property and build it gives error at all the places where it is used.
