Format XML text in a RTB

[CNU]

Hi,
I have a richtextbox control that displays some xml data
either by loading from a file or by copy-paste in
plaintext format. So, it is displayed without any
formatting or indentation. Now, I want to display it in a
more readable fashion. So, I want to provide an option
like "Format Whole Document" (like the one in VS .NET).
Is there any way to do this?

Regards.

Hi,
You can use the System.Xml.XmlDocument for such purposes. For example:

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.LoadXml("<mytag><mysubtag></mysubtag></mytag>");
doc.Save(Console.Out);

This code will print given XML in formatted form:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="cp866"?>
<mytag>
<mysubtag>
</mysubtag>
</mytag>

So, you can load your XML data from the richtextbox control into the
XmlDocument, save document into the memory stream and replace richtextbox
control text with saved XML.
