Code documenting

[Serge Lobko Lobanovsky]

Hello friends, Perhaps somebody could give me an advice on the following problem. I was asked to prepare a document containing more-or-less detailed description on what was changed in the source code of one of our products for the last (sic) 5 months. As not all changes were documented and there was quite a lot of added/updated/removed I am now facing a nightmare - compare the file versions to find the changes. I was wondering if there could exist an automatic utility that can do this for me - it least list the methods/classes that were changed/added in 2 file versions. Does anyone know of such a tool? Thanks. Regards, Serge (Logic Software, Easy Projects .NET site)

If you have a copy of SourceSafe or CVS, etc, you could just initialize it with the original version of the code, check out all the files, and then check back in all the new files. SourceSafe can do your comparisons for you and give you a report of the differences. Other CVS-like tools should be able to do the same thing. Good luck, Dave "You can say that again." -- Dept. of Redundancy Dept.

Use it on your collegue who didn't document changes :) Oh sry, this probably won't solve your problem. Bt it's pretty good precaution ;) Never forget: "Stay kul and happy" (I.A.)

Just tell them that you fiddled with the dialog fonts and changed the border colours to a slightly different shade of blue. Finding the correct shade of blue is what took the most time. cheers, Chris Maunder
