Expression.AddAssign Method (Expression, Expression)
[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
Creates a BinaryExpression that represents an addition assignment operation that does not have overflow checking.
Assembly: System.Core (in System.Core.dll)
'Declaration Public Shared Function AddAssign ( _ left As Expression, _ right As Expression _ ) As BinaryExpression
Parameters
- left
- Type: System.Linq.Expressions.Expression
An Expression to set the Left property equal to.
- right
- Type: System.Linq.Expressions.Expression
An Expression to set the Right property equal to.
Return Value
Type: System.Linq.Expressions.BinaryExpressionA BinaryExpression that has the NodeType property equal to AddAssign and the Left and Right properties set to the specified values.
The following code example shows how to create an expression that adds a value to an integer variable and then assigns the result of the operation to the variable.
' Add the following directive to your file: ' Imports System.Linq.Expressions ' The parameter expression is used to create a variable. Dim variableExpr As ParameterExpression = Expression.Variable(GetType(Integer), "sampleVar") ' The block expression enables you to execute several expressions sequentually. ' In this block, the variable is first initialized with 1. ' Then the AddAssign method adds 2 to the variable and assigns the result to the variable. Dim addAssignExpr As BlockExpression = Expression.Block( New ParameterExpression() {variableExpr}, Expression.Assign(variableExpr, Expression.Constant(1)), Expression.AddAssign( variableExpr, Expression.Constant(2) ) ) ' Print the expression from the block expression. outputBlock.Text &= "The expressions from the block expression:" & vbCrLf For Each expr As Expression In addAssignExpr.Expressions outputBlock.Text &= expr.ToString() & vbCrLf Next outputBlock.Text &= "The result of executing the expression tree:" & vbCrLf ' The following statement first creates an expression tree, ' then compiles it, and then executes it. outputBlock.Text &= Expression.Lambda(Of Func(Of Integer))(addAssignExpr).Compile()() & vbCrLf ' This code example produces the following output: ' ' The expressions from the block expression: ' (sampleVar = 1) ' (sampleVar += 2) ' The result of executing the expression tree: ' 3
