I have been trying to use the XElement, as advised by John Saunders. However My XML is not indented in the Razor View. I must be doing something silly, but I cannot see it.

Controller Code:

XElement myXElement = XElement.Load(strMapPath + strFileName);
ViewBag.MyOrigDocXML = myXElement;
return View();

Razor Code in View:

@if(ViewBag.MyOrigDocXML != null)
{
@ViewBag.MyOrigDocXML.ToString();
}

Any help greatly appreciated,

    I would nest your code inside pre html tags like

    <link href="~/Content/Prettify/prettify.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script src="~/Scripts/Prettify/prettify.js"></script>

<body onload="prettyPrint()">
    <pre class="prettyprint lang-xml">@ViewBag.MyOrigDocXML;</pre>
</body>

    this will then give you your xml in an indented layout, then add prettify to get xml text highlighted
