I want to compare 2 web.config files by content, so that the difference is shown in terms of line number. I don't want to use Compare-Object as it compares line by line, which is not exactly the proper method for comparison.

Perhaps XmlDiff can help. It understands XML and generates a difference.

Have you considered to Serialize the config files? You can even generate classes with xsd.exe and use the objects in your program as you like.
