rukov Posted August 3, 2015 Report Posted August 3, 2015 Often we need to compare two different versions of an assembly and see differences between the two. This is especially true when you are making a point release (or hot fix) and not upgrading the entire environment and you want to compare the selected assemblies that you will overwrite in production (live) environment, so that you can be sure of changes which are going in the new assembly.CLR assemblies being binary files cannot be compared with usual text file comparer tools. Hence, you need a separate tool which can compare CLR assemblies. That’s where I welcome you to using this new tool, Girish Jain’s Assembly Comparer.Using this tool, you can compare two CLR assemblies and it will give you nice graphical view to see the differences along with advanced comparer features to filter view for mismatch items only or common items, and so on. Best way to explain its features would be by doing a comparison and showing differences hence, I have created a fiction data layer DLL with some common entities and data access layer classes/methods and created two versions of it v1.1 and v1.2.Download http://girishjjain.com/tools/AssemblyComparer/AssemblyComparer.application Quote
