Do You know any tools that can be used as external diff viewer for Teamcity's Visual Studio plugin?
I'm using Visual Studio 2010 Pro and Teamcity 5.1.2.

We use Beyond Compare 3 which is very easy to use with the TeamCity Plugin (set the path to the executable (BComp.exe) and set %1 %2 /lefttitle="%3" /righttitle="%4" as the Command Arguments.
A good open source alternative is WinMerge.

4You need quotes around the title values for it to work preperly: `%1 %2 /lefttitle="%3" /righttitle="%4"` – Carl Oct 17 '12 at 23:09

With Beyond Compare 3, I use
%1 %2 /lefttitle="%3" /righttitle="%4" /leftreadonly
The last option makes it so you can't accidentally edit base file

For WinMerge (set path to WinMergeU.exe), I use the command arguments
/x /e /ub /wl /dl %6 /dr %7 %1 %2

Haven't looked at VS for a while, so I'm note sure what's changed in the last few years. That being said, I like a couple of Source Forge Projects in this area
KDiff3 and
Notepad++ with the Compare Plugin from the plugins project.
and the reason I haven't paid a lot of attention to the Visual Studio side of things is that I am a Delphi freak, and the diff tool I've been using for years, because until recently even what I was using from Project JEDI's JediVCS which has an integral diff tool.

Other URL's would be http://sourceforge.net/projects/notepad-plus/ and http://sourceforge.net/projects/npp-plugins/ and for the Delphi tool http://jedivcs.sourceforge.net/ – BezantSoft Sep 20 '10 at 06:56
