Tool for comparing files in Visual Studio 2010

I read the this Tool for comparing files in Visual Studio post and the recomended posts but unfortuantely it is only for VS-2008. I am wondering if there is a working tool for comparing selected files in visual studio 2010.

Ideally, select 2 files in Solution Explorer and right click and choose "Compare Selected Files"

I also have ankhSVN as my subversion program therefore cannot use

Edit: I have successfully selected WinMerge as my tool for Diff process, but how do i actually compare 2 files using it?

AnkhSVN is the same for VS2005, 2008 and 2010. You can use Tools -> Options -> Source Control -> Subversion User Tools to configure your diff/merge and patch tools. It will auto-detect most tools, so you only have to select them from the dropdown menu.

EDIT: There's currently no option to diff 2 different files, you can only diff versions of the same file.
