Re: Microsoft XML Diff/Patch -- how to output differences

Even if I could get a document that shows what XML Patch would do; the new nodes added, or nodes deleted, or values changed, I'd be happy. The XML patch demo site at http://apps.gotdotnet.com/xmltools/xmldiff/default.aspx has a nice colored comparison between the two files, and would be terrific for my purposes, but I can't find any source code on how they did it.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnxmlnet/html/xmldiff.asp

explains using the DiffPatch tool and has a link to download Xmldiffpatch.exe which contains the source.

Note that there are a few bugs (as posted in the discussion forums). You can also download my ComXT tool from
http://www.gotdotnet.com/Community/UserSamples/Details.aspx?SampleGuid=675CEF21-B487-426A-AF0D-48A81BE0298F

for an example of using the XmlDiffPatch DLLs (and contains my modified XmlDiffPatch DLLs which correct a couple of the bugs).
