InvocationExpression Class
Silverlight
Represents an expression that applies a delegate or lambda expression to a list of argument expressions.
Namespace: System.Linq.Expressions
Assembly: System.Core (in System.Core.dll)
The InvocationExpression type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | Arguments | Gets the arguments that the delegate or lambda expression is applied to. |
![]() | 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.) |
![]() ![]() | Expression | Gets the delegate or lambda expression to be applied. |
![]() ![]() | NodeType | Returns the node type of this expression. Extension nodes should return Extension when overriding this method. (Overrides Expression.NodeType.) In Silverlight for Windows Phone Windows Phone OS 7.1, this member is inherited from Expression.NodeType. In XNA Framework Windows Phone OS 7.0, this member is inherited from Expression.NodeType. |
![]() ![]() | Type | Gets the static type of the expression that this Expression represents. (Overrides Expression.Type.) In Silverlight for Windows Phone Windows Phone OS 7.1, this member is inherited from Expression.Type. In XNA Framework Windows Phone OS 7.0, this member is inherited from Expression.Type. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Accept | Dispatches to the specific visit method for this node type. For example, MethodCallExpression calls the VisitMethodCall. (Inherited from Expression.) |
![]() ![]() | 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 the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() ![]() | GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() ![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() ![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | 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 | 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 | 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.) |
The following example creates an InvocationExpression that represents invoking a lambda expression with specified arguments.
Dim largeSumTest As System.Linq.Expressions.Expression(Of System.Func(Of Integer, Integer, Boolean)) = _ Function(num1, num2) (num1 + num2) > 1000 ' Create an InvocationExpression that represents applying ' the arguments '539' and '281' to the lambda expression 'largeSumTest'. Dim invocationExpression As System.Linq.Expressions.InvocationExpression = _ System.Linq.Expressions.Expression.Invoke( _ largeSumTest, _ System.Linq.Expressions.Expression.Constant(539), _ System.Linq.Expressions.Expression.Constant(281)) outputBlock.Text &= invocationExpression.ToString() & vbCrLf ' This code produces the following output: ' ' Invoke((num1, num2) => ((num1 + num2) > 1000),539,281)
