Is there an easy way to reformat an XML file while viewing it Visual Studio 2010. For example, if you open a generated app.config file, it might look like:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <configuration> <startup><supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0"/></startup></configuration> This is difficult to read, is there a way to instruct Visual Studio 2010 to format this, so that it looks more like:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <configuration> <startup> <supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0"/> </startup> </configuration> Thanks for any help.
