irSDK Object Model

InRule's irSDK contains a rich object model providing all of the properties, methods, and events required to manage most rule-enabled scenarios.  Below are the core assemblies and namespaces that comprise irSDK.  The assemblies are installed in <InRule installation directory>\irSDK\bin by default.

The namespaces contained in irSDK fall into two logical groups:

• Runtime API - runtime execution namespaces for requesting rules execution and processing results
• Authoring API - rule authoring namespaces for creating rules in code and embedding authoring controls

Runtime Execution Namespaces

InRule.Runtime

• Used to execute rule applications
• Typically the primary namespace used by developers to call the rules engine
• Assembly: InRule.Runtime.dll

 InRule.Runtime.Testing

• irVerify^® integration and execution statistics

Rule Authoring Namespaces

InRule.Repository

• Used to create and maintain rule applications
• Every necessary rule element is available to create rule applications in code
• Both irAuthor uses this namespace exclusively
• Assembly: InRule.Repository.dll

InRule.Authoring.Editors, InRule.Authoring.BusinessLanguage

• Classes and methods to embed authoring controls in a host application
• Assemblies: InRule.Authoring.Editors.dll, InRule.Authoring.BusinessLanguage.dll

InRule.Security

• Set of classes and namespaces to assign rights to element types with the rule application
• Assembly: InRule.Repository.dll
