It implements the ITwoPassComparer interface, which, as the name suggests handles the comparison in 2 phases. I also wanted it to be extensible and so the core functionality is implemented using interfaces, so that it is truly extensible.Īt the heart of it, Directory Comparer has the RecursiveComparer. So, I just came up with this recurive comparison tool. This is what I define as 'simple' - Choose folder 1, choose folder 2, click on button, I should be done.

But I just wanted something that is simple and straight-forward. Yes, out there are a few directory comparers. Directory comparer is extensible so you always have the option of creating your own comparers or own UI for representing the results of the default comparers provided. I have also added my future thoughts about this project in the points of interest section. When I started with this project, it had limited features, but as time porgressed, I incorporated a lot more features. It tries to introduce a few concepts apart from providing some tips. I have discussed this application in a way which I feel would be pretty helpful.
