Tool for comparing two versions of a codebase???

[Bert]

Hello,

Are there any good tools for comparing two C# solutions?

Let's say I have several c# projects in a solution. Let's call that solution
the reference solution.

I make a copy of the reference solution. I add some code in various
projects. I change some code in
various projects. I delete some projects. I add new projects and end up with
a new solution.

Now I want to compare the reference solution with the new solution and have
a tool report to me which
changes have occured.

Are there any good tools for this?

I am also looking for a tool which will do the same thing for projects coded
in C.

Thanks.

Sounds like you need a good source control tool. Most of them will let
you do version comparisons, etc, as part of the standard package.

There are many excelent, and free, source control tools out there, so
there is really no good reason not to use one. My personal faviorite
is svn - using tortoise svn on the client....
