I want to compare the clearcase file with its previous version programmatically in C#.

Is there any way to invoke clearcase comparison window using C# CAL libraries for a file?

  • Sorry for the downvote and the flag: it is a perfectly valid programming question. – VonC Dec 21 '12 at 13:12
  • Sorry for the closed question. You have hundreds questions similar to this one on stack Overflow, but those "moderators" are clueless. – VonC Dec 26 '12 at 09:39
  • That is perfectly fine VonC. You have given me the appropriate answer and that worked. – Ramesh K Dec 26 '12 at 09:44

First, as illustrated in "How to call a VBScript file in a C# application?", it is best to wrap the cleartool diff call in a VB script and call that script from your C# program.

That would allow for your VB script to call a cleartool command, with the command diff --graphical in it (which will open the diff windows)

ClearCase.ClearTool CT = new ClearCase.ClearTool();
string result;
result = CT.CmdExec("diff --graphical ...");

The OP Ramesh K comments:

The above CmdExec worked for me. I used:

 ct.CmdExec("diff -graphical -pre "+filePath);

directly in C# application and it invokes the graphical interface of the ClearCase diff tool.
