(in System.Core.dll)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Function Execute(Of TResult) ( _
expression As Expression _
) As TResult
Dim instance As IQueryProvider
Dim expression As Expression
Dim returnValue As TResult
returnValue = instance.Execute(expression)
TResult Execute<TResult>(
Expression expression
)
generic<typename TResult>
TResult Execute(
Expression^ expression
)
JScript does not support generic types or methods.
Type Parameters
- TResult
The type of the value that results from executing the query.
Return Value
Type: TResult
The value that results from executing the specified query.
The Execute method executes queries that return a single value (instead of an enumerable sequence of values). Expression trees that represent queries that return enumerable results are executed when the IQueryable<(Of <(T>)>) object that contains the expression tree is enumerated.
The Queryable standard query operator methods that return singleton results call Execute. They pass it a MethodCallExpression that represents a LINQ query.
