Compare DOC in C#

Our .NET SDK is designed to give you the most accurate result, even though comparison is a complex function itself.

Sometimes you need to be sure that the document in the DOC format has not been changed, and if it has, you need to find out what the difference is. Just use our .NET diff tool to compare two DOC files and find differences in whole words or single characters. Moreover, if only one character in a word has changed, this word will be marked as changed entirely.

Now you no longer need to spend time manually comparing DOC documents, and you can quickly find even small changes and export such diffs to a document in a convenient format.

Try to compare DOC documents

Check out how our solution to compare DOC files using .NET SDK works. To achieve this, load the DOC files you want to compare and select the export file format – it will be automatically loaded after comparing.

Note that you need to accept all revisions in compared documents before calling the comparison method, as shown in our example:

Upload the compared file
Run code
Upload the second file to compare
Select the target format from the list
using Aspose.Words.Cloud.Sdk;

var config = new Configuration
{
    ClientId = "####-####-####-####-####",
    ClientSecret = "##################"
};
var wordsApi = new WordsApi(config);

var fileName1 = "Input1.doc";
var fileName2 = "Input2.doc";
var fileResult = "Output.doc";

//  Upload documents to cloud storage.
using var firstDocumentContent = File.OpenRead(fileName1);
var uploadFirstFileRequest = new UploadFileRequest(firstDocumentContent, fileName1);
await wordsApi.UploadFile(uploadFirstFileRequest);

using var secondDocumentContent = File.OpenRead(fileName2);
var uploadSecondFileRequest = new UploadFileRequest(secondDocumentContent, fileName2);
await wordsApi.UploadFile(uploadSecondFileRequest);

//  Compare documents in cloud.
var compareDataOptions = new CompareData()
{
    Author = "author",
    FileReference = new FileReference(fileName2)
};
var compareDocumentRequest =
    new CompareDocumentRequest(fileName1, compareDataOptions, destFileName: fileResult);
await wordsApi.CompareDocument(compareDocumentRequest);

//  Download result document from cloud storage.
var downloadFileRequest = new DownloadFileRequest(fileResult);
var downloadFileResult = await wordsApi.DownloadFile(downloadFileRequest);
using (var fileStream = File.Create(fileResult))
{
    downloadFileResult.CopyTo(fileStream);
}
