c# File Compare / Merge

[Liz]

Does anyone know of a good source file compare utility, with or without
merge capabilities?

[Nicholas Paldino [.NET/C# MVP]]

Liz,

Do you need to be able to do it programmatically, or you are just
looking for a utility that will do this for you?

Hi Liz,
I have been very happy with BeyondCompare (see http://www.scootersoftware.com).
They have a free trial you can download.

TotalCommander http://www.ghisler.com/ does binary and text file
compares, and a ton of other stuff. When I get a new PC it's the
first program I load.

Try WinMerge. Ir has merging capabilities and, best of all, it's open
source.

well I started out here looking for a utility but I'd be in interested in a
programmatic approach as well ....

and thanks to all for the suggestions; they all look good ... I also found
CSDiff, which seems to be useable ...

TortoiseMerge, part of TortoiseSVN (tortoisesvn.org) has two-way and
three-way line-level merge and sub-line difference highlighting.

It's delivered with Visual Studio. Doesn't do merges, and it's not all
that sophisticated, but I think what it does, it does a good job at. I
use it on a regular basis. :)

Is it delivered with all version of VS?
IIRC in VS6 (before .NET) it was accesible from the start menu, I have never
seen it in the .NET versions though.

It's definitely in 2005. I haven't installed 2008 yet, so I'm not sure
about that version. I don't know why they'd stop including it though.

I don't remember for sure whether it's included in the Start menu, but
it's definitely copied with the other tools.
