Examples
The following example creates a BinaryExpression object that represents the subtraction of one number from another.
// Create a BinaryExpression that represents subtracting 14 from 53.
System.Linq.Expressions.BinaryExpression binaryExpression =
System.Linq.Expressions.Expression.MakeBinary(
System.Linq.Expressions.ExpressionType.Subtract,
System.Linq.Expressions.Expression.Constant(53),
System.Linq.Expressions.Expression.Constant(14));
Console.WriteLine(binaryExpression.ToString());
// This code produces the following output:
//
// (53 - 14)
' Create a BinaryExpression that represents subtracting 14 from 53.
Dim binaryExpression As System.Linq.Expressions.BinaryExpression = _
System.Linq.Expressions.Expression.MakeBinary( _
System.Linq.Expressions.ExpressionType.Subtract, _
System.Linq.Expressions.Expression.Constant(53), _
System.Linq.Expressions.Expression.Constant(14))
Console.WriteLine(binaryExpression.ToString())
' This code produces the following output:
'
' (53 - 14)

Properties
CanReduce |
Gets a value that indicates whether the expression tree node can be reduced. |
CanReduce |
Indicates that the node can be reduced to a simpler node. If this returns true, Reduce() can be called to produce the reduced form. (Inherited from Expression) |
Conversion |
Gets the type conversion function that is used by a coalescing or compound assignment operation. |
IsLifted |
Gets a value that indicates whether the expression tree node represents a lifted call to an operator. |
IsLiftedToNull |
Gets a value that indicates whether the expression tree node represents a lifted call to an operator whose return type is lifted to a nullable type. |
Left |
Gets the left operand of the binary operation. |
Method |
Gets the implementing method for the binary operation. |
NodeType |
Gets the node type of this Expression. (Inherited from Expression) |
Right |
Gets the right operand of the binary operation. |
Type |
Gets the static type of the expression that this Expression represents. (Inherited from Expression) |
Methods
Accept(ExpressionVisitor) |
Dispatches to the specific visit method for this node type. For example, MethodCallExpression calls the VisitMethodCall(MethodCallExpression). |
Accept(ExpressionVisitor) |
Dispatches to the specific visit method for this node type. For example, MethodCallExpression calls the VisitMethodCall(MethodCallExpression). (Inherited from Expression) |
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) |
Reduce() |
Reduces the binary expression node to a simpler expression. |
Reduce() |
Reduces this node to a simpler expression. If CanReduce returns true, this should return a valid expression. This method can return another node which itself must be reduced. (Inherited from Expression) |
ReduceAndCheck() |
Reduces this node to a simpler expression. If CanReduce returns true, this should return a valid expression. This method can return another node which itself must be reduced. (Inherited from Expression) |
ReduceExtensions() |
Reduces the expression to a known node type (that is not an Extension node) or just returns the expression if it is already a known type. (Inherited from Expression) |
ToString() |
Returns a textual representation of the Expression. (Inherited from Expression) |
Update(Expression, LambdaExpression, Expression) |
Creates a new expression that is like this one, but using the supplied children. If all of the children are the same, it will return this expression. |
VisitChildren(ExpressionVisitor) |
Reduces the node and then calls the visitor delegate on the reduced expression. The method throws an exception if the node is not reducible. (Inherited from Expression) |
