Display XML file inside Div

I am trying to display an xml file inside a div, just like it opens in a browser(With colored tags,inner text & expand-collapse).Is it possible. For now, I am just displaying it in a label.

MY XML:

<EmployeeDetails>
  <Employee Uid="1546784553">
    <ID>100</ID>
    <Name>Pat</Name>
    <Salary>12000</Salary>
  </Employee>
   //....and so on
</EmployeeDetails>

ASPX:

<div id="divXml">
     <asp:UpdatePanel runat="server">
       <ContentTemplate>
         <pre>
           <asp:Label ID="lblXml" runat="server" Font-Size="Large"></asp:Label>
         </pre>
       </ContentTemplate>
     <Triggers>
        <asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="btnView" EventName="Click" />
      </Triggers>
        </asp:UpdatePanel>
    </div>

CS:

private void ViewXml()
  {
    string strFile = Server.MapPath("~/XML/EmpXml.xml");
    if (File.Exists(strFile))
      { 
        string theXML = Server.HtmlEncode(File.ReadAllText
                         (Server.MapPath("~/XML/EmpXml.xml")));
        lblXml.Text = theXML;                 
      }
 }

Look into Google Code Pretifier or SyntaxHighlighter.

Unfortunately there is no native code highlighting because the browser is not equipped to know syntax highlighting for any old language, you must use a plugin!
