The easiest way to diff two files directly in solution explorer
See the changelog for changes and roadmap.
- Compare two files in Solution Explorer
- Compare a file with any other file on disk
- Compare any two files from disk via 'Tool' menu
Select one or two files in Solution Explorer and right-click.
Then select Compare Files... to see the diff view.
If you only selected a single file, a file selector prompt will show up to let you select which file to diff against.
If you select main menu 'Tools'โ'Compare Files...', you will be prompted twice for the files to compare.
