I'm wondering if VA has a diff tool to compare two files?
thanks,

Posted - Aug 19 2019 : 08:00:21 AM Recently I found great file compare tool. It is Code Compare https://www.devart.com/codecompare/file-comparison.html This file comparison tool that allows you to compare, diff and merge text files or folders. It can recognize basic code structure in various languages (namely C#, C++, JavaScript, Java, Visual Basic). Very comfortable!

Posted - Apr 06 2018 : 05:03:20 AM I have never used Araxis, but at the time I started using Beyond Compare, it was the only diff program I found that let me compare two images, pixel by pixel, but also allowed the images to be different sizes. So when comparing a reference screen shot to a full screen shot, I could move the reference screen shot to the part of the image I needed to compare. A very specific use case that other image diff programs did not support.
Sometimes it works like this, there is one specific "small" feature you rely on in a tool, and unless another tool has that specific feature you cannot really move over to it.

Posted - Apr 04 2018 : 10:09:38 AM You can also use the built-in diff / merge tools shipped with Visual Studio which is pretty good too. He's the one invoked by default when you use built-in git or team explorer features.
There's also some VS addons which add options in the context menu to compare 2 files in the solution.
And you can also invoke it through command line (or as settings in Tortoise Svn / Git for example):
