Diff tool that can be integrated into a C# app [closed]

Question

I have a small C# app and I'd like to provide the ability to preview diffs and accept changes. My inputs are only text files. I came across some tools like kdiff3 and winmerge and I was wondering if anyone's integrated them inside a C# app and if yes, how was it done? I also came across some nice projects on CodeProject from an earlier stackoverflow question but since those projects were written in 2004, I was wondering if you have any suggestions for an open source diff and merge tool that I can integrate? Thanks!

Answer 1

Have you checked out csdiff ?

You might want to checkout DiffPlex. It is (amongst other things) a library that can be used to generate text diffs. It also provides some higher level classes that provide a more complete "diff model" that should be easier to use for rendering diffs in, say, a textbox.

Personally, I have only used it for minor tasks, but it looks powerful enough to handle more sophisticated scenarios as well.
