Vb.Net Comparing 2 text objects and show differences (like Source Safe)

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi

does anyone know how to compare two text objects (in this case 2
different fields in SQL Server records) and show the differences like
SourceSafe. In other words the two files/ fields are shown with the
different text highlighted depending on whether it had been inserted,
deleted or amended.

ideally i am looking for a control but the source code would be just
as useful.

i am writing this code in a vb.net solution

many thanks

Julian
