If you want to do it programmatically then you can do it with the .NET 
framework 2.0 or later by creating an XmlWriter with XmlWriterSettings 
to Indent and to have NewLineOnAttributes, then passing in an XmlReader 
to the WriteNode method:

     public static void PrettyPrint(string input, string output, 
XmlWriterSettings settings)
     {
       using (XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(input))
       {
         using (XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create(output, settings))
         {
           writer.WriteNode(reader, true);
         }
       }
     }

Call like this

       XmlWriterSettings writerSettings = new XmlWriterSettings();
       writerSettings.NewLineOnAttributes = true;
       writerSettings.Indent = true;
       PrettyPrint("input.xml", "output.xml", writerSettings);
