Visual Studio Comparison Tools is an extension for Visual Studio which uses external tools to compare files, folders and clipboard. Features: Comparing two files, selecting folders for comparison from the solution explorer and comparing (and merging) clipboard to a file or selected area in a file. By default uses Beyond Compare if found, then WinMerge (http://winmerge.org/) and if neither is found uses VSDiff to compare files. Tested to work with Beyond Compare 3 and 4. NOTE! VSDiff comparison still has some issues with comparing cliboard and a text selection! For visual studio 2005/2008/2010 and source code, see the github page: https://github.com/exxxxxx/comparisontools Compare selected area or the opened file to the clipboard:
Compare a project file to the clipboard:
Compare two project files to each other:
Setting up other comparison tools: The tool will create a config file to "C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Visual Studio Comparison Tools\config.xml". This file tells which comparison tool is being used and with which parameters. Example configs:
C:\Program Files (x86)\WinMerge\WinMergeU.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\Beyond Compare 3\BComp.exe
C:\Program Files\Beyond Compare 4\BComp.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Preview\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe /diff "[%File1%]" "[%File2%]" [%SELECTION_TITLE%] [%CLIPBOARD_TITLE%] "Clipboard (ReadOnly)" "Selection ([%SELECTION_FILENAME%])" Setting up other comparison tools:
