Reading/Parsing ACS Identity Provider FederationMetadata.xml

Is there any easy way, such as some WIF class or something which given a FederationMetadata.xml file from an identity provider, you can easily load this and parse it to access certain parts of information out of the file.

I need to be able to parse it for things like the claims and signing token etc, so that given a supplied FederationMetadata.xml file I can set up an identity provider, rule group and rules using the ACS Management Service.

I could probably knock together an xmlreader to read through it, but just wondered if there was an easier way.

Look into the MetadataSerializer class. It has APIs to read the metadata and gives you back an object model for the metadata. Docs are here:
