(WF4) Custom Rules for Diffing XAML Files

  • Article

Link - “TFS and WF4- The diff noise problem” - I just saw this post from Rory which looked useful for anyone using WinMerge (it’s free). Of course not everyone uses the same diff tools.

I’m rather partial to  SourceGear|DiffMerge (also free), which is configurable in much the same way. Here’s DiffMerge’s way of setting up the same XAML/XAMLX rules (otherwise similar to the XML rules)

Inside the rule, un-tick ‘Classify Differences as Important’.
