How can I generate a diff from within Visual Studio for a codeplex project?

I made some changes in the sourcecode for a project hosted on codeplex. I'm not an author or editor on the project - just a user. But I'd like to submit the changes as a patch.

Codeplex has a nice way to do upload the patch...

How can I generate a patch or a diff开发者_运维百科, from within Visual Studio? How can I generate something that another VS developer could apply to update his source code? Does VS have a patch/diff capability?

Thanks.

Use the TFS command line tool, tf.exe:

tf diff  <file>  | more

example output:

<             this.countdownDelay = (menuItem.Text == "none")
<                 ? 0
<                 : int.Parse(menuItem.Text, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

>             this.countdownDelay = int.Parse(menuItem.Text, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
