[C#] Format a XML string using XmlTextWriter

// a demo string
string xml = "<Root><Eles><Ele>abc</Ele><Ele>123</Ele></Eles></Root>";

System.Xml.XmlDocument doc = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
doc.LoadXml(xml);

System.IO.StringWriter sw = new System.IO.StringWriter();
using (System.Xml.XmlTextWriter writer = new System.Xml.XmlTextWriter(sw))
{
    writer.Indentation = 2;  // the Indentation
    writer.Formatting = System.Xml.Formatting.Indented;
    doc.WriteContentTo(writer);
    writer.Close();
}

// out put the formated xml
Console.WriteLine(sw.ToString());

C#, Remember to Provide ToString() Method

System.Object.ToString() is one of the most used methods in the .NET environment. You should write a reasonable version for all the clients of your class. Otherwise, you force every user of your class to use the properties in your class and create a reasonable human-readable representation. This string representation of your type can be used to easily display information about an object to users: in Windows Forms, web forms, or console output. The string representation can also be useful for debugging. Every type that you create should provide a reasonable override of this method. When you create more complicated types, you should implement the more sophisticated IFormattable.ToString(). Face it: If you don't override this routine, or if you write a poor one, your clients are forced to fix it for you.
