asp.net c# scan application for code duplication - utility

Question

Hello, Do you guys by any chance know of a tool for visual studio that can scan the entire application and find code duplication?

I have to clean up a medium sized asp.net c# application and I am using "Find and Replace" but it is really tedious work. I was wondering if there was a utility or VS plug-in that could automate this process.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Perhaps PMD can help.

From the homepage:

Duplicate code can be hard to find, especially in a large project. But PMD's Copy/Paste Detector (CPD) can find it for you!

They have a list of similar projects.

Answer 2

you can give Clone detective a try

Answer 3

Simian is a good tool to use. You can define code block size, and create an external command to run it inside of the VS IDE.

It's not for VS, but Simian works pretty well.
