Visual Studio 2012 introduced a very helpful feature called Code Clone Analysis, which will search the solution and find out the duplicate code snippets.
If you worked in any maintenance or support project, one of the main challenges is to find out the duplicate code, which makes the system less maintainable. Visual Studio introduced the new Code Clone Analysis feature, which will tell us whether a code snippet exists in any of the files in the solution or not.
