Compare text selections within a single file

[Menchar]

I often want to compare selections of code within the same file.

Is there a way to do this in BC?

Even better, is there a way to use BC to do this from Visual Studio 2010?

Thanks.

You can open a file in one side, then copy and paste text from the file into the other pane.

Once you've pasted in text, right click on a line and use the "Align with" command to force sections to line up that you want to compare.

I don't think Visual Studio provides an easy way to launch a comparison of the same text or clipboard text. However, you can configure BC as a diff and merge tool: http://www.scootersoftware.com/support.php?zz=kb_vcs
