Beyond Compare (free for 30 day trial only, then approximately $50 for a user license) There are two tools ( Beyond Compare and WinMerge) out there that I have used and would recommend over the built-in comparison viewer. The built-in comparer/merger in Visual Studio is extremely limited in this regard. Another related task is that of merging two (or more versions of) files.
One of the most frequent tasks that developers face is ‘comparing’ (diff between) two versions of a source file.

With the free tangibile T4 editor you get coloring and Intellisense.

tt files in Visual Studio directly is a smidge scary, as it's hard to tell what's code generating code and what's the code you're generating. However, there's no syntax highlighting and opening. T4 (Text Template Transformation Toolkit) Code Generation is Visual Studio's best kept secret. Still, an excellent free compare tool, and I like that I can drag the second file in. I wish the two panes changed sizes in sync though, and I've seen one or two crashes. It's nice because it's using the VS editor so it has the features you're used to like Ctrl-Scroll to change the font sizes. CodeCompare is a free Diff tool that runs inside VS itself. I'm a fan of BeyondCompare from Scooter Software, but I like integrated stuff as well. It adds HTML Copy that puts code in the clipboard as in the HTML format if if you like, but most of all, it adds a new Searchable Add Reference Dialog. You can also Highlight Current Line, nice for large monitors. If you prefer a pile of tabs, you can get multiple rows or columns of tabs. It also introduces optional tab recycling that will close old tabs as you open new ones. It'll color tabs based on what project they came from, which is nice for large solutions. Two of the big changes are the "Document Well" that changes how tabs behave.

Where PowerCommands adds lots of little commands in subtle ways, Pro Power Tools changes UI things in much bigger ways. It even adds "Format Document on Save" that will tidy up your whitespace every time you save your document. There's a lot of Copy/Paste improvements, letting you copy and paste a whole class, or copy and paste references between projects. But it's also subtle things like Undo Close that will reopen the most recent tab with the cursor just where it was. This crazy add-in adds 25 additional commands to Visual Studio! It's a collection of really convenient little improvements like Open Containing Folder and Open Command Prompt. Some crazy people try to make Visual Studio 2010 look like Visual Studio 2008! ) It's great and lets you make VS look like whatever OS you want. I've blogged before about the Visual Studio Color Theme Editor.
Here's my current of the best Visual Studio 2010 Extensions I'm using. I'm collecting add-ins in VS like I collect Add-Ins in FireFox. One of the things I'm digging about VS2010 is its extensibility model.
