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.

A: 

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/

We use Beyond Compare 3 which is very easy to use with the TeamCity Plugin (set the path to the exe and set %1 %2 /lefttitle=%3 /righttitle=%4 as the Command Arguments.

A good open source alternative is WinMerge
