Expression<TDelegate>::Compile Method ()

Return Value

A delegate of type TDelegate that represents the compiled lambda expression described by the Expression<TDelegate>.

The Compile method produces a delegate of type TDelegate at runtime. When that delegate is executed, it has the behavior described by the semantics of the Expression<TDelegate>.

The Compile method can be used to obtain the value of any expression tree. First, create a lambda expression that has the expression as its body by using the Lambda method. Then call Compile to obtain a delegate, and execute the delegate to obtain the value of the expression.
