How to detect any changes made in Dev DB compared to Live DB

Hi,
I was just wondering if there's any way to detect what database objects
were lately modified in Dev database as compared to the similar one in Live
database.
When I develop in Dev datatabse, its very tough to keep track of all the
activities & changes that I do.
Is there a T-SQL where I can run it in a snapshot and know what tables,
columns, views, stored procs, triggers, user-defined function, etc. differ
than that in Live database.
This way, I know which objects to publish from Dev to Live.
Thanks,
Sam.

Nothing directly that comes with SQL Server. You can try
third party tools to do this - one is SQL Compare from Red
Gate:

The only free thing I know of is a script on
sql-server-performance.com which compares databases. Check
the following article:
