using System.Linq.Expressions; // Manually build the expression tree for // the lambda expression num => num < 5. ParameterExpression numParam = Expression.Parameter(typeof(int), "num"); ConstantExpression five = Expression.Constant(5, typeof(int)); BinaryExpression numLessTh...

// Define an expression tree, taking an integer, returning a bool. Expression<Func<int, bool>> expr = num => num < 5; // Call the Compile method on the expression tree to return a delegate that can be called. Func<int, bool> result = expr.Compile(); // Invoke the dele...

using System.Linq.Expressions; // Create an expression tree. Expression<Func<int, bool>> exprTree = num => num < 5; // Decompose the expression tree. ParameterExpression param = (ParameterExpression)exprTree.Parameters[0]; BinaryExpression operation = (BinaryExpression)exp...

Following is most basic expression tree that is created by lambda. Expression<Func<int, bool>> lambda = num => num == 42; To create expression trees 'by hand', one should use Expression class. Expression above would be equivalent to: ParameterExpression parameter = Expression.Pa...

We're going to use the expression tree API to create a CalculateSalesTax tree. In plain English, here's a summary of the steps it takes to create the tree. Check if the product is taxable If it is, multiply the line total by the applicable tax rate and return that amount Otherwise return 0 ...

Expression trees represent code in a tree-like data structure, where each node is an expression Expression Trees enables dynamic modification of executable code, the execution of LINQ queries in various databases, and the creation of dynamic queries. You can compile and run code represented by expr...

Define a new visitor class by overriding some of the methods of ExpressionVisitor: class PrintingVisitor : ExpressionVisitor { protected override Expression VisitConstant(ConstantExpression node) { Console.WriteLine("Constant: {0}", node); return base.VisitConstant(...
