NewExpression Class
Represents a constructor call.
Assembly: System.Core (in System.Core.dll)
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Arguments | Gets the arguments to the constructor. |
![]() | CanReduce | Indicates that the node can be reduced to a simpler node. If this returns true, Reduce() can be called to produce the reduced form.(Inherited from Expression.) |
![]() | Constructor | Gets the called constructor. |
![]() | Members | Gets the members that can retrieve the values of the fields that were initialized with constructor arguments. |
![]() | NodeType | Returns the node type of this Expression.(Overrides Expression.NodeType.) |
![]() | Type | Gets the static type of the expression that this Expression represents.(Overrides Expression.Type.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Accept(ExpressionVisitor) | Dispatches to the specific visit method for this node type. For example, MethodCallExpression calls the VisitMethodCall.(Overrides Expression.Accept(ExpressionVisitor).) |
![]() | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.(Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Finalize() | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.(Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetHashCode() | Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetType() | |
![]() | MemberwiseClone() | |
![]() | Reduce() | Reduces this node to a simpler expression. If CanReduce returns true, this should return a valid expression. This method can return another node which itself must be reduced.(Inherited from Expression.) |
![]() | ReduceAndCheck() | Reduces this node to a simpler expression. If CanReduce returns true, this should return a valid expression. This method can return another node which itself must be reduced.(Inherited from Expression.) |
![]() | ReduceExtensions() | Reduces the expression to a known node type (that is not an Extension node) or just returns the expression if it is already a known type.(Inherited from Expression.) |
![]() | ToString() | Returns a textual representation of the Expression.(Inherited from Expression.) |
![]() | Update(IEnumerable(Of Expression)) | Creates a new expression that is like this one, but using the supplied children. If all of the children are the same, it will return this expression. |
![]() | VisitChildren(ExpressionVisitor) | Reduces the node and then calls the visitor delegate on the reduced expression. The method throws an exception if the node is not reducible.(Inherited from Expression.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | IArgumentProvider.GetArgument(Int32) | Returns the argument at index, throwing if index is out of bounds. |
![]() ![]() | IArgumentProvider.ArgumentCount | Gets the number of arguments to the expression tree node. |
The following example creates a NewExpression that represents the construction of a new instance of a dictionary object.
' Create a NewExpression that represents constructing ' a new instance of Dictionary(Of Integer, String). Dim newDictionaryExpression As System.Linq.Expressions.NewExpression = _ System.Linq.Expressions.Expression.[New]( _ Type.GetType("System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[System.Int32, System.String]")) Console.WriteLine(newDictionaryExpression.ToString()) ' This code produces the following output: ' ' new Dictionary`2()
