Represents a Lambda function that can be invoked to produce a DbLambdaExpression.

DbLambdaExpression

Allows the application of a lambda function to arguments represented by DbExpression objects.

DbLikeExpression

Represents a string comparison against the specified pattern with an optional escape string. This class cannot be inherited.

DbLimitExpression

Represents the restriction of the number of elements in the argument collection to the specified limit value.

DbModificationClause

Specifies a single clause in an insert or update modification operation.

DbModificationCommandTree

Represents a data manipulation language (DML) operation expressed as a command tree.

DbNewInstanceExpression

Represents the construction of a new instance of a given type, including set and record types. This class cannot be inherited.

DbNotExpression

Represents the logical NOT of a single Boolean argument. This class cannot be inherited.

DbNullExpression

Represents a reference to a typed null literal. This class cannot be inherited.

DbOfTypeExpression

Represents the retrieval of elements of the specified type from the given set argument. This class cannot be inherited.

DbOrExpression

Represents the logical OR of two Boolean arguments. This class cannot be inherited.

DbParameterReferenceExpression

Represents a reference to a parameter declared on the command tree that contains this expression. This class cannot be inherited.

DbProjectExpression

Represents the projection of a given input set over the specified expression. This class cannot be inherited.

DbPropertyExpression

Provides methods and properties for retrieving an instance property. This class cannot be inherited.

DbQuantifierExpression

Represents a quantifier operation of the specified kind over the elements of the specified input set. This class cannot be inherited.

DbQueryCommandTree

Represents a query operation expressed as a command tree. This class cannot be inherited.

DbRefExpression

Represents a strongly typed reference to a specific instance within an entity set. This class cannot be inherited.

DbRefKeyExpression

Represents the retrieval of the key value (in its structural form) from the underlying reference value. This class cannot be inherited.

DbRelationshipNavigationExpression

Represents the navigation of a relationship. This class cannot be inherited.

DbScanExpression

Represents a scan over an entity set or relationship set, as indicated by the Target property. This class cannot be inherited.

DbSetClause

Specifies the clause in a modification operation that sets the value of a property. This class cannot be inherited.

DbSkipExpression

Skips a specified number of elements in the input set. DbSkipExpression can only be used after the input collection has been sorted as specified by the sort keys.

DbSortClause

Specifies a sort key that can be used as part of the sort order in a DbSortExpression. This class cannot be inherited.

DbSortExpression

Represents a sort operation applied to the elements of the specified input set based on the given sort keys. This class cannot be inherited.

DbTreatExpression

Represents a type conversion operation applied to a polymorphic argument. This class cannot be inherited.

DbUnaryExpression

Implements the basic functionality required by expressions that accept a single expression argument.

DbUnionAllExpression

Represents the set union (without duplicate removal) operation between the left and right operands. This class cannot be inherited.

DbUpdateCommandTree

DbVariableReferenceExpression

Represents a reference to a variable that is currently in scope. This class cannot be inherited.

DefaultExpressionVisitor

Visits each element of an expression tree from a given root expression. If any element changes, the tree is rebuilt back to the root and the new root expression is returned; otherwise the original root expression is returned.

Enums

DbExpressionKind

Contains values that each expression class uses to denote the operation it represents. The ExpressionKind property of an DbExpression can be retrieved to determine which operation that expression represents.

Remarks

A command trees is an object model representation of a query that can be used to represent query, update, insert, and delete commands in the ADO.NET Entity Data Model (EDM) and storage metadata.
