code compare tool

[Daniel Rimmelzwaan [MVP - Navision]]

Hello all,

I was wondering if Visual Studio comes with a code compare and/or merge
tool.

Thanks,
Daniel.

Daniel,

I'm not sure which versions of VS have it, but Visual Source Safe has
a good difference display, and can merge sources that have been
branched.

There's also a stand-alone WinDiff program that will show differences.

Visual Source Safe (which comes with Visual Studio) has an excellent compare
utility but of course you need to be using VSS to store your code.

There is an EXCELLENT code compare utility called ExamDiff. See
http://www.prestosoft.com/ps.asp?page=edp_examdiff. The standard edition is
free.

Yes, WinDiff comes with VS. You can also check our Compare It! tool -
