IRuleExpression Interface

Definition

Represents the base class from which custom expression writers must derive to write custom expressions.

public interface class IRuleExpression
public interface IRuleExpression
type IRuleExpression = interface
Public Interface IRuleExpression

Examples

The following code creates an expression that can be used in declarative conditions and rule sets. The expression is named TwoOfThree, and takes 3 parameters, all of which must evaluate to Booleans. This expression returns true if 2 of the 3 expressions return true.

To use this code, add it to a Class Library project and reference the library from your workflow project.

using System.Workflow.ComponentModel.Compiler;

Methods

AnalyzeUsage(RuleAnalysis, Boolean, Boolean, RulePathQualifier)

When overridden in a derived class, reports on how the object uses fields and properties in the context type.

Clone()

When overridden in a derived class, creates a deep copy of the current CodeExpression.

Decompile(StringBuilder, CodeExpression)

When overridden in a derived class, decompiles the custom expression into string form.

Evaluate(RuleExecution)

When overridden in a derived class, evaluates the custom expression.

Match(CodeExpression)

Compares the current expression to another expression to determine whether they are equal.

Validate(RuleValidation, Boolean)

When overridden in a derived class, verifies that the expression is configured correctly and has no errors.
