Example

[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       'Main
   End Class       'Class1
End Namespace       'TestCompare  
[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);

            }
    }
}

Remarks

To select the comparison algorithm you want to use, set the Algorithm property of the XmlDiff class before calling the Compare method. The default value of this property is XmlDiffAlgorithm.Auto, which means the comparison algorithm will be automatically selected depending on the size and assumed number of changes in the compared documents.
