o[vs.net] Diff Tool for local files

In the tools directory of Visual Studio (C:\Program Files (X86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0 (or 12.0)\Common\IDE\ you find the tool VsDiffMerge.exe Tip: You can also use %VS110COMNTOOLS% on the commandline to point to this directory.

When you start VSDiffMerge, the diff / merge tool starts up with two files that you choose.

1
2
3
%VS110COMNTOOLS%
one dir back, enter to IDE, execute :
vsdiffmerge.exe "File1" "File2"
