Put the following method in your project:
public static String PrettyPrint(String XML) { String Result = ""; System.IO.MemoryStream MS = new System.IO.MemoryStream(); System.Xml.XmlTextWriter W = new System.Xml.XmlTextWriter(MS, System.Text.Encoding.Unicode); System.Xml.XmlDocument D = new System.Xml.XmlDocument(); try { // Load the XmlDocument with the XML. D.LoadXml(XML); W.Formatting = System.Xml.Formatting.Indented; // Write the XML into a formatting XmlTextWriter D.WriteContentTo(W); W.Flush(); MS.Flush(); // Have to rewind the MemoryStream in order to read // its contents. MS.Position = 0; // Read MemoryStream contents into a StreamReader. System.IO.StreamReader SR = new System.IO.StreamReader(MS); // Extract the text from the StreamReader. String FormattedXML = SR.ReadToEnd(); Result = FormattedXML; } catch (System.Xml.XmlException) { } MS.Close(); W.Close(); return Result; } |

And that is all there is! Pretty XML! |
