Parameters

• source
  Type: System.String
  The local path of the source file.

• sourceCodePage
  Type: System.Int32
  The source file encoding page.

• target
  Type: System.String
  The local path of the target file.

• targetCodePage
  Type: System.Int32
  The target file encoding page.

• diffOpts
  Type: Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.Common.DiffOptions
  Options for the difference operation.

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.Common.DiffSegment
The linked list of DiffSegments.
