Diff All Tools - Visual Studio Extension Other comparison tools I also just ran across another site that had a nice resource list of configuration settings for different comparison tools. I saved this snippet from working through Araxis documentation for setting up their tool with Visual Studio. The only con for me with Araxis is no dark theme. This resulted in only a few hundred lines to scroll through.

In my test comparison, I reduced 3245 lines of code in the comparison window to 25 lines, which was the actual changes + 10 lines above/below for each change to have context. If you do a lot of code comparisons, some of the additional functionality in their app might be worth it, otherwise the built in viewer in TFS is pretty good.

Win! Highly recommend you check them out, as if you are doing open source they have a free license for that. This could reduce thousands of lines of code to just a few hundred that have variances. This tool gives you the option to provide only the different lines, with a X number of lines before and ahead for context. I really like the fact it merges down similarities into a concise comparison. My preferred option is Araxis Merge (disclaimer: they provided me with a license for evaluation, which doesn't impact my assessment). To go a step beyond this you could use a third party comparison tool. Personally, I've found the merged view really helpful to have one single pane to scroll through. You then click on diff all files in the changeset viewerĪll the non-excluded items will then be merged into a single file, if this option was selected, or separate windows. In the changeset view you can select diff all files and whatever settings you've setup in the Tools > Options > Diff all Files settings will then feed through automatically. If you need to do code comparison on a lot of files in Visual Studio, I ran across an extension Diff All Files that is really helpful for merging down the individual file changes into more consumable format. I still enjoy using this due to the "context" lines that reduce the noise to just the actual section being changed. Diff All Files extension handles this beautifully with proceeding one by one and automatically opening the next file to compare or allowing you to hit next to close and reopen with the next file to compare. The other way (merge files into one) can't handle syntax highlighting with the various files types all mixed into the same window. I started using the option to compare a single file at a time, since it picks up the syntax highlighting then. deadlydog/VS.DiffAllFiles: Visual Studio Extension to make comparing files before and after committing them to Git and TFS faster and easier Update:

Big thanks to DeadlyDog for this great tool and putting in the effort to update for VS2017. Still find this incredibly awesome! Developer just updated for Visual Studio 2017 after a lot of hard work.
