|---|---|---|
| Constant(Object^) | Overloaded. Creates a new DbConstantExpression of the specified primitive type with the given constant value.(Defined by DbExpressionBuilder.) |
| New(array<DbExpression^>^) | Overloaded. Creates a new DbNewInstanceExpression. If the type argument is a collection type, the arguments specify the elements of the collection. Otherwise the arguments are used as property or column values in the new instance.(Defined by DbExpressionBuilder.) |
| New(IEnumerable<DbExpression^>^) | Overloaded. Creates a new DbNewInstanceExpression. If the type argument is a collection type, the arguments specify the elements of the collection. Otherwise the arguments are used as property or column values in the new instance.(Defined by DbExpressionBuilder.) |
| NewEmptyCollection() | Creates a new DbNewInstanceExpression that constructs an empty collection of the specified collection type.(Defined by DbExpressionBuilder.) |
| Null() | Creates a new DbNullExpression, which represents a typed null value.(Defined by DbExpressionBuilder.) |
| Parameter(String^) | Creates a new DbParameterReferenceExpression that references a parameter with the specified name and type.(Defined by DbExpressionBuilder.) |
| Variable(String^) | Creates a new DbVariableReferenceExpression that references a variable with the specified name and type.(Defined by DbExpressionBuilder.) |
