Xdiff and XMerge on TFS

[rlasker3]

We purchased licenses for Semantic merge and want to be able to configure non C# files to be compared and merged in Visual Studio TFS with the Xdiff and XMerge tools that come with our license. I have been unable to find documentation on the arguments required to set up TFS to use mergetool.exe for non C# files.

Hi Carlos,

 

Thanks for the response. That document is for setting up the Semantic merge application for .cs files. I am looking for the configuration to use mergetool.exe on other file types.

Hi,

 

Semantic Merge is a tool that allows to merge C#/VB.net, Java and C files (and other languages using external parsers). It also includes a text merge tool to support some secenarios.

 

But if you want to independently configure "mergetool.exe" for other text files, you can to it. You can see all the available parameters running "mergetool.exe --help". 

 

Regards,

Carlos.
