In our project, we need a rule engine component, after a short time research i found that that .NET Workflow also has it's rule engine. is there any complete comparison list between .NET Workflow Rule Engine and others, e.g. NxBRE, Drool.NET... Thanks very much.

    Just for the info: BizTalk also has a business rules engine, some say it's better than WF's. Although you can just reference its dll and use it, you still need a BizTalk license. The Drools.NET project seems to be completely abandoned. – Kizz Jul 28 '11 at 02:53
  • Thanks very much for your information, BTW, can the assemblies of BizTalk (Rule Engine related) work without BizTalk run-time? Just .NET CLR ? – Ethan Wu Jul 28 '11 at 08:03
  • Yes, they can. You don't need to actually install BizTalk, just reference its rule-related dlls and use it. – Kizz Jul 29 '11 at 00:12
  • Find a post talking about Biztalk & WWF : [Biztalk, Windows Workflow Foundation and Business Rules](http://www.edmblog.com/weblog/2005/11/biztalk_windows.html) – Ethan Wu Aug 02 '11 at 01:16

    FlexRule looks good, but.... seems hard to request a trial version, i and my singapore colleague request both for twice, no response, no feed ack. So i think we drop our consideration of this 'listened good' product. – Ethan Wu Sep 03 '11 at 01:16
  • Please register yourself on the site and download and install the product. Your licence will be activate automatically during the installation process. – Arash Aghlara Sep 22 '13 at 11:01
