Make use of TreeView control

Here is working code to display xml on treeview :

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Xml;

public class XmlTreeDisplay : System.Windows.Forms.Form
{
    private System.Windows.Forms.TreeView treeXml = new TreeView();

    public XmlTreeDisplay()
    {
        treeXml.Nodes.Clear();
        this.Controls.Add(treeXml);
        // Load the XML Document
        XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
        try
        {
            doc.LoadXml("texttextg99999");
            //doc.Load("");
        }
        catch (Exception err)
        {

            MessageBox.Show(err.Message);
            return;
        }

        ConvertXmlNodeToTreeNode(doc, treeXml.Nodes);
        treeXml.Nodes[0].ExpandAll();
    }

    private void ConvertXmlNodeToTreeNode(XmlNode xmlNode,
      TreeNodeCollection treeNodes)
    {

        TreeNode newTreeNode = treeNodes.Add(xmlNode.Name);

        switch (xmlNode.NodeType)
        {
            case XmlNodeType.ProcessingInstruction:
            case XmlNodeType.XmlDeclaration:
                newTreeNode.Text = "";
                break;
            case XmlNodeType.Element:
                newTreeNode.Text = "<" + xmlNode.Name + ">";
                break;
            case XmlNodeType.Attribute:
                newTreeNode.Text = "ATTRIBUTE: " + xmlNode.Name;
                break;
            case XmlNodeType.Text:
            case XmlNodeType.CDATA:
                newTreeNode.Text = xmlNode.Value;
                break;
            case XmlNodeType.Comment:
                newTreeNode.Text = "";
                break;
        }

        if (xmlNode.Attributes != null)
        {
            foreach (XmlAttribute attribute in xmlNode.Attributes)
            {
                ConvertXmlNodeToTreeNode(attribute, newTreeNode.Nodes);
            }
        }
        foreach (XmlNode childNode in xmlNode.ChildNodes)
        {
            ConvertXmlNodeToTreeNode(childNode, newTreeNode.Nodes);
        }
    }
    public static void Main()
    {
        Application.Run(new XmlTreeDisplay());
    }
}
