File Comparison Tool in Visual Basic

Submitted by Yorkiebar on
Introduction: This tutorial is on how to create a file comparison tool in Visual Basic. Pseudo: First the user selects file #1. Then file #2. Stats are accumulated for each file. Stats are drawn on to the form. Design: For the form, we are simply going to use two listboxes (listbox1 and listbox2) to hold the stats and 'button1' with the text of 'Begin' to start the comparison process. File Selection: So now we create an OpenFileDialog to allow the user to select a file.
