// Signature:
( |Call|_| ) : (input:Expr) -> (Expr option * MethodInfo * Expr list) option

Parameters

  • input
    Type: Expr

    The input expression to match against.

Return Value

The formal return type is (Expr option * MethodInfo * Expr list) option. The option indicates whether the input results in a match. In a pattern matching expression, the input is decomposed, upon a successful match, into a tuple of three elements. The first element is an option for an expression that represents the reference to the object for an instance method call. It has a value only if the call is an instance method. The second element of the tuple is a MethodInfo object that describes the method. The final element of the tuple is a list that contains the arguments for the method call.

Remarks

This function is named CallPattern in the .NET Framework assembly. If you are accessing the member from a .NET Framework language other than F#, or through reflection, use this name.
