Comparing Files

[KNorman]

Is there another way in which files can be compared
within Visual Studio .NET 2003. I am talking
specifically of files external to any solution like maybe
a database script file that I need to compare, etc. I am
currently still using WinDiff to do my file comparisons
but I was curious as to whether there is another way in
which this could be done using .NET. Thanks.

If you are looking for a utility to compare files, WinDiff is the common
one in VS.NET. There are also some third party products, for example:

VS.NET IDE doesn't have ability to compare external files. We need to
perform that with those utilities like WinDiff.

Hope this answer your question.
