Solution 2

You may try to decompile Reflector using Reflector, then study the code which does the code extraction and implement it somehow in your own application. Try to make it different enough though, or you may be sued for copyright infringement.

If you merely want to compare differences, you could run ildasm.exe on the old and new code, and parse the generated IL source and do a comparison that way.
