Get the differences by comparing two Word documents in C#/VB.NET
2021-01-04 07:37:21 Written by support iceblueWe have introduced how to compare two Word documents in C# and VB.NET. From Spire.Doc V8.12.14, it supports to get the differences between two Word documents in a structure list. This article will show you how to use Spire.Doc to get the differences by comparing two Word documents.
C#
using Spire.Doc;
using Spire.Doc.Documents;
using Spire.Doc.Fields;
using Spire.Doc.Formatting.Revisions;
using System;
namespace GetWordDifferences
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//Load the first Word document
Document doc1 = new Document();
doc1.LoadFromFile("Sample1.docx");
//Load the second Word document
Document doc2 = new Document();
doc2.LoadFromFile("Sample2.docx");
//Compare the two Word documents
doc1.Compare(doc2, "Author");
foreach (Section sec in doc1.Sections)
{
foreach (DocumentObject docItem in sec.Body.ChildObjects)
{
if (docItem is Paragraph)
{
Paragraph para = docItem as Paragraph;
if (para.IsInsertRevision)
{
EditRevision insRevison = para.InsertRevision;
EditRevisionType insType = insRevison.Type;
string insAuthor = insRevison.Author;
DateTime insDateTime = insRevison.DateTime;
}
else if (para.IsDeleteRevision)
{
EditRevision delRevison = para.DeleteRevision;
EditRevisionType delType = delRevison.Type;
string delAuthor = delRevison.Author;
DateTime delDateTime = delRevison.DateTime;
}
foreach (ParagraphBase paraItem in para.ChildObjects)

EditRevisionType delType = delRevison.Type;

}
}
}
}
}
//Get the difference about revisions

var insetRevisionsList = differRevisions.InsertRevisions;
var deletRevisionsList = differRevisions.DeleteRevisions;
}
}

It is not uncommon at work that we may receive two versions of a Word document and face the need to find the differences between them. Document comparison is particularly important and popular in the fields of laws, regulations and education. In this article, you will learn how to compare two Word documents in C# and VB.NET by using Spire.Doc for .NET.
- Compare Two Documents and Save Result in a Third Word Document
- Compare Two Documents and Return Insertions and Deletions in Lists
Below is a screenshot of the two Word documents that’ll be compared.
Install Spire.Doc for .NET
To begin with, you need to add the DLL files included in the Spire.Doc for .NET package as references in your .NET project. The DLL files can be either downloaded from this link or installed via NuGet.
PM> Install-Package Spire.Doc
Compare Two Documents and Save Result in a Third Word Document
Saving the comparison result in a separate Word document allows us to see all the changes made to the original document, including insertions, deletions as well as modifications on formatting. The following are the steps to compare two documents and save the result in a third Word document using Spire.Doc for .NET.
- Load two Word documents separately while initialing the Document objects.
- Compare these two documents using Document.Compare() method.
- Save the result in a third Word document using ;Document.SaveToFile() method.
- C#
- VB.NET
using Spire.Doc;
namespace CompareDocuments
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//Load one Word document
Document doc1 = new Document("C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\original.docx");
//Load the other Word document
Document doc2 = new Document("C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\revised.docx");
//Compare two documents
doc1.Compare(doc2, "John");
//Save the differences in a third document
doc1.SaveToFile("Differences.docx", FileFormat.Docx2013);
doc1.Dispose();
}
}
}
Compare Two Documents and Return Insertions and Deletions in Lists
Developers may only want to obtain the insertions and deletions instead of the whole differences. The following are the steps to get insertions and deletions in two separate lists.
- Load two Word documents separately while initialing the Document objects.
- Compare two documents using Document.Compare() method.
- Get the revisions using the constructor function of the DifferRevisions ;class.
- Get a list of insertions through DifferRevisions.InsertRevisions property.
- Get a list of deletions through DifferRevisions.DeleteRevisions property.
- Loop through the elements in the two lists to get the specific insertion and deletion.
- C#
- VB.NET
using Spire.Doc;
using Spire.Doc.Fields;
using System;
namespace GetDifferencesInList
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//Load one Word document
Document doc1 = new Document("C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\original.docx");
//Load the other Word document
Document doc2 = new Document("C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\revised.docx");
//Compare the two Word documents
doc1.Compare(doc2, "Author");
//Get the revisions
DifferRevisions differRevisions = new DifferRevisions(doc1);
//Return the insertion revisions in a list
var insetRevisionsList = differRevisions.InsertRevisions;
//Return the deletion revisions in a list
var deletRevisionsList = differRevisions.DeleteRevisions;
//Create two int variables
int m = 0;
int n = 0;
//Loop through the insertion revision list
for (int i = 0; i < insetRevisionsList.Count; i++)
{
if (insetRevisionsList[i] is TextRange)
{
m += 1;
//Get the specific revision and get its content
TextRange textRange = insetRevisionsList[i] as TextRange;
Console.WriteLine("Insertion #" + m + ":" + textRange.Text);
}
}
Console.WriteLine("=====================");
//Loop through the deletion revision list
for (int i = 0; i < deletRevisionsList.Count; i++)
{
if (deletRevisionsList[i] is TextRange)
{
n += 1;
//Get the specific revision and get its content
TextRange textRange = deletRevisionsList[i] as TextRange;
Console.WriteLine("Deletion #" + n + ":" + textRange.Text);
}
}
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}
