Hi All,

I'm trying to create a rules engine that could be re-used in the windows
client as well as the server side.

Could someone point me in the right direction. I'm looking to create simple
rules that could be passed on from the server to the client as xml. I would
like to know how I could translate those rules (some text like x > 0 or x <>
empty) into actual validations and execute them.

Any help is very much appreciated. Thank you very much for your time and
inputs.

Noel

perhaps something like
<range min=".." max="..">
<set name=".."><value>Cat</value><value>Dog</value></set>

This would allow for basic ranges, sets and could be expanded to
include subsets, inclusions, joins, etc

Could you please throw some light on how I could use these in my code to
specify rules? I don't quite understand the syntax mentioned and an
explanation would be of great help.

TIA
Noel

I really have absolutely no idea where you are attempting to go. Your
question seemed more like a request on how one could possibly express
rules in the form of XML. How one used them or what they were needed
for, I left completely up to you.
