    <ParentClassID>00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000002</ParentClassID>
    <DynamicPopulation>false</DynamicPopulation>
    <TimeoutPeriod>0</TimeoutPeriod>

Answer 1

Try the Microsoft XML diff API.

Answer 2

Try,

 XmlDocument doc1 = new XmlDocument();
    XmlDocument doc2 = new XmlDocument();
    doc1.Load(@"c:\myproject\WindowsApplication1\sitemap.xml");
    doc2.Load(@"c:\myproject\WindowsApplication1\mouse.xml");

    XmlNodeList a = doc1.GetElementsByTagName("Name");
    XmlNodeList b = doc2.GetElementsByTagName("Name");
    if (a.Count == 1 && b.Count == 1)
    {
        if (a[0].InnerText == b[0].InnerText)
            Console.WriteLine("Equal");
        else
            Console.WriteLine("Not Equal");
    }

XMLUnit is awesome for xml comparison. Primarily Java based but there is a .Net port there too (I've only used the Java one): http://xmlunit.sourceforge.net/
