Namespaces: InRule.Runtime
Classes:   RuleSession, RuleException

Execute decision using DecisionInput

try
{
     // Execute the Decision
    var decision = session.CreateDecision("CalculateArea");
   decision.Execute(new DecisionInput("height", 30), new DecisionInput("width", 400));
}
catch (RuleException ex)
{
     // Handle any rule engine exceptions here.
    Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
}

Note: If a Decision input is an Entity type, an Entity instance should be passed. Any Auto RuleSets, calculations, constraints and classifications on the passed Entity will be executed.

Execute decision using JSON

try
{
     // Execute the Decision
    var decision = session.CreateDecision("CalculateArea");
   decision.Execute("{ \"height\": 30, \"width\": 400 }, EntityStateType.Json));
}
catch (RuleException ex)
{
     // Handle any rule engine exceptions here.
    Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
}
