Any Presets for Visual Studio Directorys

Post by IngoG » Tue 14 Aug 2012 11:10

Hi there,

i was looking for a tool to compare two directorys of a VisualStudio-Solution with different Version-Status. Is there any Preset to hide files that are not necessary in a VisualStudio-Project-Folder (meaning, Files wich are rebuild if they would be deleted)

Regards

Ingo

Code Compare allows you to compare folders located on one of your drives, it does not support comparison of remote TFS folders. If you want to hide some changes, you can look at the options on the Filter and Miscellaneous tabs.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I have two Versions of a Project on my Harddrive. No TFS or similar Software is involved. I want to identify the difference between the two Versions, but i wan´t to exclude Files, that are automaticly generated by Visual Studio.

Do you have a list, wich Extensions could be filtered out ?

Regards

By default, Code Compare has a filter that excludes build folders:

Code: Select all

bin;obj;resources.
If you have any other output directories in your project (e.g. Debug, Release), just add them to the exclude list.
