You could use XSLT to contain the criteria, or put the criteria in another XML document and use XSLT to process the data XML with your criteria XML.

I have a criteria table for eg. like the following: Decision Element Grade1 Grade2 Grade3 Country Not equal to USA Not equal to USA and UK Equal to USA and UK Age 20,21,22,23,24 or 25 48,49,50,51,52 or 53 All 50 othere than 51,54 Occupatioin Engineer or Doctor Lawyer or Cop Student or Worker I have a C# class which is gonna check the above conditions and makes sure the XML fulfills all of the conditions in any of the Grade and returns the appropriate Grade. So for eg. if my XML contains <Country>USA</Country> <Age>53</Age> <Occupation>Student</Occupation> I would then return Grade3. Everything works like a charm until here. But the user came up with a proposal that he should be able to edit this criterion table frequently. So we thought we would implement this also as an XML file. Can someone please help me in goin about with this. Thanks Nischal __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
