Compiler Error CS0838
Visual Studio 2008
An expression tree may not contain a multidimensional array initializer.
Multidimensional arrays in expression trees cannot be initialized by using an array initializer.
To correct this error
Create and initialize the array before creating the expression tree.
The following example generates CS0838:
// cs0838.cs
using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Linq.Expressions;
namespace TestNamespace
{
class Test
{
static int Main()
{
Expression<Func<int[,]>> expr =
() => new int[2, 2] { { 1, 2 }, { 3, 4 } }; // CS0838
// try the following 2 lines instead
int[,] nums = new int[2, 2] { { 1, 2 }, { 3, 4 } };
Expression<Func<int[,]>> expr2 = () => nums;
return 1;
}
}
}
