Hello.

When you compare assemblies, the differences will no longer show in green and red like it did in the first release.

This is a known issue caused by a bug in the coloring support, and will be fixed in the next release. Please use the first release 20080403 if you need this functionality in the meanwhile.
Comments: Please try build 20090210, in which the diff coloring should have been fixed.

Hello...
I installed FDS 1.1.3 Build 20090128 and when I try to execute it, I get a "Send error report" with this error siganture:
EventType : clr20r3 P1 : fds.exe P2 : 1.0.3315.29922 P3 : 4980fa45
P4 : presentationframework P5 : 3.0.0.0 P6 : 4938d608 P7 : 921
P8 : 1f P9 : system.io.filenotfoundexception

I have a Windows XP SP3, .NET 3.5 SP1.

The command line diff tool is working fine...

Thanks.

NEW POST: Excluding types from command line diff

adange — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 03:44:32 GMT

Is there some way to exclude (or as the ui calls it "hide") types in an assembly when doing a diff from the command line?

COMMENTED ISSUE: I get 'There was an error loading' on loading any assembly

---------------------------
Framework Design Studio

There was an error loading Common.Logging.dll
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

Comments: I was also getting this error because the DLL was marked as read-only. You just need to right-click on the DLL in the explorer and bring up the property page for the file and remove the 'read-only' attribute. A better error message would help track down the problem. Better yet, just load the DLL even if it is read-only.

This is a known issue caused by a bug in the coloring support, and will be fixed in the next release. Please use the first release 20080403 if you need this functionality in the meanwhile.
Comments: A workaround is to use the "Export" feature to generate a word-xml document. The coloring in the output file should still be working.

hongping — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 02:31:17 GMT

What error are you getting?

Could you try FxDiff on a simple assembly to see if it works? There might be bugs causing errors in the output file. You can report a bug in the Issue Tracker tab on this site, and attach the assemblies you are working with.

COMMENTED ISSUE: DIFF view broken

hongping — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 02:27:58 GMT

When switching to DIFF view and comparing to versioned assemblies (in my case NHibernate 1.2.1 GA and 2.0 GA) it is showing the changed classes, but does not colour the differences (i.e. red and green)
Comments: Actually, I used tried the latest release myself, and it does have the problem you described. This issue is caused by a bug in the coloring support, and will be fixed in the next release. In the mean while, please use the first release to see the correct diff colors. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Comments: Red and green are for added/removed keywords, types and members. Could you provide the actual assemblies you used, a screenshot of what you are seeing, and a description of what you are expecting?

This is our second release. It includes some minor bug fixes, color options, and initial MEF integration for the assembly loader and issue tracker. Hope you find the changes useful. If you have feedback, feel free to leave it on the discussions page.
Thanks!
