menees / diff.net Goto Github PK

Awesome work. And.. Thank You.

I have my own WinForms application that does some interactions with a government RestFul API
In the course of things, I allow the more technical user the ability to see the JSON passed back-n-forth and actually "diff" the JSON if an interaction has been logged multiple times (so user can readily see what changed since they last submitted the object graph)

I currently embed your older Diff.Net.exe inside my application and then call it like this:

Process.Start("Diff.Net.exe", $"\"{file1.FullName}\" \"{file2.FullName}\" /f:w+c+g-tt");

If I want to use the more modern nuget-ized versions of your DLLs.. I believe I should link out to this package Menees.Diffs.Windows.Forms and thus I get all these:

  <package id="Menees.Common" version="4.9.10" targetFramework="net462" />
  <package id="Menees.Diffs" version="4.9.10" targetFramework="net462" />
  <package id="Menees.Diffs.Windows.Forms" version="4.9.10" targetFramework="net462" />
  <package id="Menees.Windows" version="4.9.10" targetFramework="net462" />
  <package id="Menees.Windows.Forms" version="4.9.10" targetFramework="net462" />

I don't know how to get the actual exe into my application via NuGet or if I should be instantiating one of your form instances..
So, my question is:
Can you either nuget-ize this Diff.Net application, or put some more help docs out there so I can more readily discern what the equivalent C# code would be

Any compare code function that i can use in this code so that i can build my own control since it only view and cannot edit?

how do I allow edit on the diffcontrol box and can get either left or right box value in the code?

Hey Bill,

I like Diff.Net and even build a WPF clone Ähnlich based on your excellent back-end library. Your software design is supporior and the application is more than useful compared to other open-source attempts available on the Internet. Just want to say thank you for sharing such a great piece of work 🥇

Thanx Dirk
