The following tables summarize the factory methods that can be used to create a BinaryExpression that has a specific node type, represented by the NodeType property. Each table contains information for a specific class of operations such as arithmetic or bitwise.
Binary Arithmetic Operations
Bitwise Operations
Shift Operations
Conditional Boolean Operations
Comparison Operations
Coalescing Operations
Array Indexing Operations
In addition, the MakeBinary methods can also be used to create a BinaryExpression. These factory methods can be used to create a BinaryExpression of any node type that represents a binary operation. The parameter of these methods that is of type NodeType specifies the desired node type.
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.
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)
// 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)
