How to open maximize file comparison window in TFS?

Question

I am using TFS 2010 and visual studio 2010

When I compare the version of the local and the latest version of the file, then the window opens in a small size, so every time I want to maximize the mode.

can anyone tell me if there are any settings for this?

Answer 1

There are several alternatives to the standard comparison tool that will give you more options.

Here is a good article on modifying the diff / merge tool for winmerge. http://blog.paulbouwer.com/2010/01/31/replace-diffmerge-tool-in-visual-studio-team-system-with-winmerge/

Here is another tool that replaces the diff / merge tool http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/dace3633-0b51-4629-85d4-c59cdce5bb3b/

Finally, the / diff comparison in Visual Studio 2012 has been completely rewritten and is now a document window with intellisense. Best of all, you can open Visual Studio 2010 (sp1) projects in Visual Studio 2012 without converting the solution / projects.
