Examples

The following code example shows how to create an expression that represents a default value for a given type.

// Add the following directive to your file:
// using System.Linq.Expressions;

// This expression represents the default value of a type
// (0 for integer, null for a string, etc.)
Expression defaultExpr = Expression.Default(
                            typeof(byte)
                        );

// Print out the expression.
Console.WriteLine(defaultExpr.ToString());

// The following statement first creates an expression tree,
// then compiles it, and then executes it.
Console.WriteLine(
    Expression.Lambda<Func<byte>>(defaultExpr).Compile()());

// This code example produces the following output:
//
// default(Byte)
// 0

' Add the following directive to your file:
' Imports System.Linq.Expressions  

' This expression represents the default value of a type
' (0 for integer, null for a string, and so on).
Dim defaultExpr As Expression = Expression.Default(
                                        GetType(Byte)
                                    )

' Print the expression.
Console.WriteLine(defaultExpr.ToString())

' The following statement first creates an expression tree,
' then compiles it, and then executes it.
Console.WriteLine(
    Expression.Lambda(Of Func(Of Byte))(defaultExpr).Compile()())

' This code example produces the following output:
'
' default(Byte)
' 0
