I would like to be able to pull some code samples out of a database and/or have the text embedded into the website and then have the sample formatted in a code like fashion on the screen. While the text alone on the screen is great, the format will make it more user friendly. How is this done?

I want this:

 public string MyString = ‘The Sample Text’;

To look like:

public string MyString = 'The Sample Text';

EDIT WITH ANSWER
I took Gortok’s suggestion and looked into Prettify.js and its doing just what I had hoped. Here is how this is implemented.

<head runat='server'>     <script src='Scripts/prettify.js' type='text/javascript'></script>     <script src='Scripts/jquery-1.3.2.js' type='text/javascript'></script>     <link href='Scripts/prettify.css' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'></link> </head> <body>     <code class='prettyprint'>          public String HelloString = 'New String';      </code>       <script language='javascript'>          $().ready(function() {              prettyPrint();          });      </script>  </body>
