any tools to compare the source codes before and after changed

I wonder if there is any tools for comparing the source codes written in VC/C++ and get the difference about which line was changed in the new one.

Use WinDiff program which comes with Visual Studio. It is listed in the Programs menu, Visual Studio 6.0 - Visual Studio 6.0 Tools - WinDiff.

In Visual Studio 8.0 you can find it in the directory Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Tools\Bin.

the version of my visual studio is 7.0.
I can't find the program you said.

All the files in the folder "Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Tools\Bin" are:

Bind.exe, DisableMsg.Exe, gtrts32w.dll, gtrtst32.dll, IViewers.dll, LTM.exe,
MC.exe, Midl.exe, MidlC.exe, MkTypLib.exe, odbct32w.exe, odbcte32.exe,
OleView.exe, RC.exe, RcDll.Dll,ReBase.exe, RowsetViewer.exe,
UndName.exe, Uuidgen.exe.

which one do I need?

thanks

Make search for WinDiff.exe in all Visual Studio folder. If you have Microsoft SDK, search also there.
