Comparing HTML Files

[=?Utf-8?B?UG9vamE=?=]

Hi

I have been using Microsoft XmlDiffPatch to compare 2 XML files.
I wanted to know if there is any Microsoft Tool which can be used to compare
two HTML files in the similar manner or any refernce on msdn which I can use
for this purpose.

Thanks.

This isn't a Microsoft tool, but I usually use WinMerge-http://winmerge.org/
(freeware) to compare text files. From your post, I can't determine if you
need to do this programmatically or not. If you are looking for a way to
programmatically diff files, this app probably won't work for you.

Hi Page Brooks,

Thanks for your prompt response. I want a tool to do the diff
programatically. Something like a third party dll or some piece of code
which I can incorporate in my current code.

Thanks,
Pooja.
