CodeExpressionStatement Class

Definition

Namespace:

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to create an instance of the CodeExpressionStatement class by using a CodeExpression object.

// Creates a code expression for a CodeExpressionStatement to contain.
array<CodeExpression^>^ temp = {gcnew CodePrimitiveExpression( "Example string" )};
CodeExpression^ invokeExpression = gcnew CodeMethodInvokeExpression(
   gcnew CodeTypeReferenceExpression( "Console" ),"Write",temp );

// Creates a statement using a code expression.
CodeExpressionStatement^ expressionStatement;
expressionStatement = gcnew CodeExpressionStatement( invokeExpression );

// A C++ code generator produces the following source code for the preceeding example code:

// Console::Write( "Example string" );

// Creates a code expression for a CodeExpressionStatement to contain.
CodeExpression invokeExpression = new CodeMethodInvokeExpression(
    new CodeTypeReferenceExpression("Console"),
    "Write", new CodePrimitiveExpression("Example string") );

// Creates a statement using a code expression.
CodeExpressionStatement expressionStatement;
expressionStatement = new CodeExpressionStatement( invokeExpression );

// A C# code generator produces the following source code for the preceeding example code:

// Console.Write( "Example string" );

' Creates a code expression for a CodeExpressionStatement to contain.
Dim invokeExpression = New CodeMethodInvokeExpression( _
    New CodeTypeReferenceExpression("Console"), "Write", _
    New CodePrimitiveExpression("Example string"))

' Creates a statement using a code expression.
Dim expressionStatement As CodeExpressionStatement
expressionStatement = New CodeExpressionStatement(invokeExpression)

' A C# code generator produces the following source code for the preceeding example code:
' Console.Write( "Example string" );

Remarks

A CodeExpressionStatement contains a CodeExpression object, and it can be added to a CodeStatementCollection object, allowing some expressions to stand alone. For example, a CodeMethodInvokeExpression contained by a CodeExpressionStatement can represent a method call without a return value.

Constructors

CodeExpressionStatement()	Initializes a new instance of the CodeExpressionStatement class.
CodeExpressionStatement(CodeExpression)	Initializes a new instance of the CodeExpressionStatement class by using the specified expression.

Properties

EndDirectives	Gets a CodeDirectiveCollection object that contains end directives. (Inherited from CodeStatement)
Expression	Gets or sets the expression for the statement.
LinePragma	Gets or sets the line on which the code statement occurs. (Inherited from CodeStatement)
StartDirectives	Gets a CodeDirectiveCollection object that contains start directives. (Inherited from CodeStatement)
UserData	Gets the user-definable data for the current object. (Inherited from CodeObject)

Methods

Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)
