    I don't know what it is that you use under the hood to to structure compare but I can tell it is wrong!
    Here I found this program that uses Rosyln to do code syntax tree compare...
    https://github.com/AlexGhiondea/CodeDiff
    I modified it file TextCodeDiff.cs line 111 to skip the string literal tokens

    foreach (var added in _codeDiff.GetModified())
    {
    // Ignore string literal differences as in attributes
    // https://github.com/AlexGhiondea/CodeDiff
    if (!added.Before.IsKind(Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp.SyntaxKind.StringLiteralToken) &&
    !added.After.IsKind(Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp.SyntaxKind.StringLiteralToken))
    {
    ColorSection(rtbAfter, added.After.Span.Start, added.After.Span.Length, Color.LightGreen);
    ColorSection(rtbBefore, added.Before.Span.Start, added.Before.Span.Length, Color.LightSalmon);
    }
    }
    This yields the right result.
    Your product is wrong string literal differences do not constitute code structure differences.
    Sorry I can't attach a picture here to show you.
