What I have tried:

I have tried with the below code working fine but getting duplicate values in label2

string[] a1 = { "name=name1", "address=address1", "mobilenumber=mobilenumber1", "area=area1" };

           string[] a2 = { "name=name1", "address=address12", "mobilenumber=mobilenumber1", "area=area1" };
           StringBuilder txtAppend = new StringBuilder();
           StringBuilder txtAppend2 = new StringBuilder();

           foreach (string str in a1)
           {
               txtAppend.Append(str +"<br />");
               Label1.Text = txtAppend.ToString();
           }
           foreach (string str in a2)
           {

               txtAppend2.Append(str + "<br />");
               if (!a1.Contains(str))
               {

                   txtAppend2.Append("<span style='color:red;'>" + str + "</span><br />");

               }

               Label2.Text = txtAppend2.ToString();
           }

Like below

name=name1                   name=name1
address=address1             address=address12  **** repeated elemnt with black color
mobilenumber=mobilenumber1   address=address12  **** this is red 
area=area1                   mobilenumber=mobilenumber1

Solution 1

GitHub - mmanela/diffplex: DiffPlex is Netstandard 1.0 C# library to generate textual diffs.[^]

How you display the differences will depend on which UI framework you're using. The repository includes a sample for ASP.NET which should get you started.

Solution 2

If the lines are always formatted as the examples you could for instance split the text using String.Split and then compare each string part pairwise. If they differ you render them in color.

If you write a Windows console application you can set the color using Console.ForegroundColor

i have tried with below code
string[] a1 = { "name=name1", "address=address1", "mobilenumber=mobilenumber1", "area=area1" };

string[] a2 = { "name=name1", "address=address12", "mobilenumber=mobilenumber1", "area=area1" };
StringBuilder txtAppend = new StringBuilder();
StringBuilder txtAppend2 = new StringBuilder();

foreach (string str in a1)
{
txtAppend.Append(str +"");
Label1.Text = txtAppend.ToString();
}
foreach (string str in a2)
{

txtAppend2.Append(str + "");
if (!a1.Contains(str))
{

txtAppend2.Append("" + str + "");

}

Label2.Text = txtAppend2.ToString();
}

but i am getting duplicate values in lable2
