BinaryExpression Class

Represents an expression that has a binary operator.

Namespace:  System.Linq.Expressions
Assembly:  System.Core (in System.Core.dll)

public sealed class BinaryExpression : Expression

The following tables summarize the factory methods that can be used to create a BinaryExpression that has a specific node type, represented by the NodeType property. Each table contains information for a specific class of operations such as arithmetic or bitwise.

In addition, the MakeBinary methods can also be used to create a BinaryExpression. These factory methods can be used to create a BinaryExpression of any node type that represents a binary operation. The parameter of these methods that is of type NodeType specifies the desired node type.

The following example creates a BinaryExpression object that represents the subtraction of one number from another.

// Create a BinaryExpression that represents subtracting 14 from 53.
System.Linq.Expressions.BinaryExpression binaryExpression =
    System.Linq.Expressions.Expression.MakeBinary(
        System.Linq.Expressions.ExpressionType.Subtract,
        System.Linq.Expressions.Expression.Constant(53),
        System.Linq.Expressions.Expression.Constant(14));

Console.WriteLine(binaryExpression.ToString());

// This code produces the following output: 
// 
// (53 - 14)

System.Object
  System.Linq.Expressions.Expression
    System.Linq.Expressions.BinaryExpression
