XmlDiff.Options Property

Sets all the properties of the XmlDiffOptions enumeration.

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

Example

The following example shows how to set the IgnorePI and IgnoreComments enumerations by using the XmlDiff.Options property explicitly.

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

Namespace TestCompare
   Class Class1
      Shared Sub Main()
        Dim myDiff As New XmlDiff()
        Dim diffgramWriter = New XmlTextWriter(New StreamWriter("diffgram.xml"))
        myDiff.Options = XmlDiffOptions.IgnorePI Or XmlDiffOptions.IgnoreComments
        Dim bSame As Boolean = myDiff.Compare("Source.xml", "Changed.xml", False, diffgramWriter)
        diffgramWriter.Close()
      End Sub
   End Class
End Namespace 
[C#]
using System;
using System.Xml;
using System.IO;
using Microsoft.XmlDiffPatch;

namespace TestCompare
{
  class Class1
    {
        static void Main()
          {
            XmlDiff myDiff = new XmlDiff();
            XmlWriter diffgramWriter = new XmlTextWriter( new StreamWriter( "diffgram.xml" ) );
myDiff.Options = XmlDiffOptions.IgnorePI | XmlDiffOptions.IgnoreComments;
            bool bSame = myDiff.Compare("Source.xml", "Changed.xml", false, diffgramWriter);
            diffgramWriter.Close();
            }
    }
}

There are several other ways to set the comparison options. For examples, see Setting Options that Affect the Comparison.
