Examples

This section provides two code examples. The first demonstrates how to declaratively specify values for several properties of the ExpressionBuilderCollection class. The second demonstrates how to use members of the ExpressionBuilderCollection class.

The following configuration file example shows how to declaratively specify values for several properties of the ExpressionBuilderCollection class.

<system.web>  
  <compilation>   
    <expressionBuilders>  
      <add   
        expressionPrefix="Resources"   
        type="System.Web.Compilation.ResourceExpressionBuilder"/>  
      <add   
        expressionPrefix="ConnectionStrings"   
        type="System.Web.Compilation.  
        ConnectionStringsExpressionBuilder"/>  
      <add expressionPrefix="AppSettings"   
        type="System.Web.Compilation.AppSettingsExpressionBuilder" />  
    </expressionBuilders>  
  </compilation>  
</system.web>

The following code example demonstrates how to use members of the ExpressionBuilderCollection class.
