Serailze

private void SerializeRuleSet(RuleSet ruleSet)
{
StringBuilder ruleDefinition = new StringBuilder();
WorkflowMarkupSerializer serializer = new WorkflowMarkupSerializer();

if (ruleSet != null)
{
try
{
StringWriter stringWriter = new StringWriter(ruleDefinition, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

}

XmlDocument rule = new XmlDocument();

}

Deserialize


public static RuleSet GetSampleRule(string type)
{

ruleSetXmlDefinition = GetEmbeddedTextFileContent("EsbMsgSampleRule.xml");


WorkflowMarkupSerializer serializer = new WorkflowMarkupSerializer();

StringReader stringReader = new StringReader(ruleSetXmlDefinition);
XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader(stringReader);
return serializer.Deserialize(reader) as RuleSet;
}
