Compare two fxcop results

Question

I'm going to analysis two different versions of the same dll with fxcop. I would like to display only the differences between these two reports. Does anyone know if this is possible ?

Thanks for your time.

Answer 1

Yes, it's possible, but there are no built-in tools available for this. One fairly simple approach would be to use a diff tool to compare the two reports. If the result is too noisy for you, another approach would be to roll your own tool to compare the XML of the two reports.
