ListInitExpression Class
Represents a constructor call that has a collection initializer.
Assembly: System.Core (in System.Core.dll)
The following example creates a ListInitExpression that represents the initialization of a new dictionary instance that has two key-value pairs.
string tree1 = "maple"; string tree2 = "oak"; System.Reflection.MethodInfo addMethod = typeof(Dictionary<int, string>).GetMethod("Add"); // Create two ElementInit objects that represent the // two key-value pairs to add to the Dictionary. System.Linq.Expressions.ElementInit elementInit1 = System.Linq.Expressions.Expression.ElementInit( addMethod, System.Linq.Expressions.Expression.Constant(tree1.Length), System.Linq.Expressions.Expression.Constant(tree1)); System.Linq.Expressions.ElementInit elementInit2 = System.Linq.Expressions.Expression.ElementInit( addMethod, System.Linq.Expressions.Expression.Constant(tree2.Length), System.Linq.Expressions.Expression.Constant(tree2)); // Create a NewExpression that represents constructing // a new instance of Dictionary<int, string>. System.Linq.Expressions.NewExpression newDictionaryExpression = System.Linq.Expressions.Expression.New(typeof(Dictionary<int, string>)); // Create a ListInitExpression that represents initializing // a new Dictionary<> instance with two key-value pairs. System.Linq.Expressions.ListInitExpression listInitExpression = System.Linq.Expressions.Expression.ListInit( newDictionaryExpression, elementInit1, elementInit2); Console.WriteLine(listInitExpression.ToString()); // This code produces the following output: // // new Dictionary`2() {Void Add(Int32, System.String)(5,"maple"), // Void Add(Int32, System.String)(3,"oak")}
