Syntax

Public Enumeration StringDifferenceTypes

[FlagsAttribute]

public enum StringDifferenceTypes

	Member name	Description
	Line	Compute the line difference.
	Word	Compute the word difference.
	Character	Compute the character difference.

See the comments on IHierarchicalStringDifferenceService for an explanation of how differences are computed.

You should not use the Character type unless the given text is relatively small. Computing differences with large data sets can be very slow.
