Visual-studio – Reformat XML in Visual Studio 2010

visual studiovisual studio 2010

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.
