XmlDiff.Agorithm Property

Specifies the algorithm that the will be used for comparing the documents. The type is XmlDiffAlgorithm Enumeration. The default is Auto.

[Visual Basic]
Public Property Algorithm() As XmlDiffAlgorithmn [C#]
public XmlDiffAlgorithm Options {set;}

Remarks

The following code sample shows how to use the Precise algorithm when comparing two documents.

[Visual Basic]
Imports System
Imports System.Xml
Imports Microsoft.XmlDiffPatch

Namespace TestCompare
   Class Class1
      Shared Sub Main()
        Dim diffWriter = New XmlTextWriter("diffgram.xml", New System.Text.UnicodeEncoding())
        Dim myDiff As New XmlDiff()
        myDiff.Algorithm = XmlDiffAlgorithm.Precise
        Dim bSame As Boolean = myDiff.Compare("source.xml", "changed.xml", False, diffWriter)
        Console.WriteLine("The answer is {0} ", bSame)
      End Sub
   End Class
End Namespace 

[C#]
using System;
using System.Xml;
using Microsoft.XmlDiffPatch;

namespace TestCompare
{
  class Class1
    {
        static void Main()
            {
            XmlWriter diffWriter = new XmlTextWriter("diffgram.xml", new System.Text.UnicodeEncoding()); 
            XmlDiff myDiff = new XmlDiff();
            myDiff.Algorithm = XmlDiffAlgorithm.Precise;
            bool bSame = myDiff.Compare("source.xml", "changed.xml", false, diffWriter);
        Console.WriteLine("The answer is {0} ", bSame);
            }
    }
}
