How to display xml elements from within a Razor view?

asp.net-mvc, razor, xml

Solution

You may try this:

@{
   var profileXml = @"
<profile>
    <!-- your xml -->
</profile>";
}
<pre>
    @Html.Raw(Html.Encode(profileXml))
</pre>

Here `profileXml` contains the XML string.

Problem

How to hardcode and display xml elements from within a Razor view. I'd like to display the below elements for example as they are within a element: ``` <profile> <status>Active</status> <userIdentifier>24d05ce9-7d11-4f06-a9eb-9f33ceac7f91</userIdentifier> <firstName>dd</firstName> <lastName>dasd</lastName> <title>Ms</title> <emailAddress>test@test.co.uk</emailAddress> <companyAddress> <companyName></companyName> <addressLine1></addressLine1> <addressLine2></addressLine2> <addressLine3>Sutton</addressLine3> <addressLine4>Surrey</addressLine4> <town>Sutton</town> <stateOrCounty>Surrey</stateOrCounty> <postOrZipCode>SM1 5AS</postOrZipCode> <country>United Kingdom</country> <region/> </companyAddress> <contactAddress> <addressLine1>30 Park Avenue South</addressLine1> <addressLine2>New York </addressLine2> <addressLine3>NY 11010</addressLine3> <addressLine4>USA</addressLine4> <town>NY</town> <stateOrCounty>NY</stateOrCounty> <postOrZipCode>11010</postOrZipCode> <country>United States</country> <region></region> </contactAddress> <demographics> <demographic key="ESOATDropDownList1"> <answer>True</answer> </demographic> </demographics> </profile> ``` How could it be done? I know it can be written inside a control. Is there any better/easier approach?
