Hi All, I a re-posting this in hopes of some help....

I have a strange rules engine behavior I need help with, please bear with
me...

In my policy, I assert the following as the first rule (assert new
Validate()):

public class Validate
{
public Validate()
{
Debug.WriteLine("Validate ASSERTED");
}

Then I call a static method in one of the rules:

public static string ValidateMessage(params...)

When I call this method the FIRST TIME, everything is fine, the method is
executed 2 times for the 2 lines, and the DebugView outputs the following...

Validate ASSERTED
Validate :: ValidateMessage STARTED
Validate :: looping thru lines
Validate :: looping thru lines
Validate :: ValidateMessage STARTED
Validate :: looping thru lines
Validate :: looping thru lines

Then it gets strange.... when I execute it a second time, I get:

Validate :: ValidateMessage STARTED
Validate :: looping thru lines
Validate :: looping thru lines
Validate :: ValidateMessage STARTED
Validate :: looping thru lines
Validate :: looping thru lines
Validate ASSERTED
Validate :: ValidateMessage STARTED
Validate :: looping thru lines
Validate :: looping thru lines
Validate :: ValidateMessage STARTED
Validate :: looping thru lines
Validate :: looping thru lines

A third time I get:

Validate :: ValidateMessage STARTED
Validate :: looping thru lines
Validate :: looping thru lines
Validate :: ValidateMessage STARTED
Validate :: looping thru lines
Validate :: looping thru lines
Validate :: ValidateMessage STARTED
Validate :: looping thru lines
Validate :: looping thru lines
Validate :: ValidateMessage STARTED
Validate :: looping thru lines
Validate :: looping thru lines
Validate ASSERTED
Validate :: ValidateMessage STARTED
Validate :: looping thru lines
Validate :: looping thru lines
Validate :: ValidateMessage STARTED
Validate :: looping thru lines
Validate :: looping thru lines

And so on... It keeps piggy-backing these past method calls and I don't know
why!

If I restart the host, the first call goes back to normal and then this
problem begins again.

If anyone has seen this or knows what I am doing wrong, please help.

Thanks,

BA
