Re: Xml formatted output
William,
Two tricks come to mind
a) XSLT
b) Recursive function with an string strIndent static variable that appends
itself with a space everytime it recurses.

Re: Xml formatted output
Hi,
The easiest is to create a XmlDocument with a single parent Node and add the
whole string as the InerXml of the node..
May be ..
XmlDoc.SelectSi ngleNode("Paren tNode").InnerXm l = You unformatted string;
then
XmlDoc.Save("Ne w File Name");
This will give you a good fomatted XML..

Re: Xml formatted output
Hmmm Champika,
Maybe William didn't want to see the XML tags in the output - atleast that
is what I assumed.
If he does want to see the tags, why not do a save from the original
XMLDocument? (Or stream if not save).

Re: Xml formatted output
Probably an easier/faster way, but this works as a generic method:
public static string GetFormattedXML (string xml)
{
using (StringWriter sw = new StringWriter() )
{
XmlTextWriter xw = new XmlTextWriter(s w);
xw.Formatting = Formatting.Inde nted;
XmlDocument xmldoc = new XmlDocument();
xmldoc.LoadXml( xml);
xmldoc.WriteTo( xw);
xw.Close();
return sw.ToString();
}
}

Not sure how to read that Champika? :-) To be clear, I meant there is
probably and easier way then what I posted. Also during the time waiting
for reply, I stated playing so just wanted to post this back. Was not
trying to step on any posts. Cheers!

Re: Xml formatted output
Hi William,
I think your code is fine. That might be the simplest way that I can
thought. Cheers!
