Here is simple c# extension method to format your XML data. This is useful for logging xml data to trace files, etc:

public static class XmlDocumentPrettyExtension
{
    public static string Prettyify(this XmlDocument xmlDocument)
    {
        var stringWriter = new StringWriter(new StringBuilder());
        var xmlTextWriter = new XmlTextWriter(stringWriter) { Formatting = Formatting.Indented };
        xmlDocument.Save(xmlTextWriter);
        return stringWriter.ToString();
    }
}
