When overridden in a derived class, returns code that is used during page execution to obtain the evaluated expression.

public:
 abstract System::CodeDom::CodeExpression ^ GetCodeExpression(System::Web::UI::BoundPropertyEntry ^ entry, System::Object ^ parsedData, System::Web::Compilation::ExpressionBuilderContext ^ context);

public abstract System.CodeDom.CodeExpression GetCodeExpression (System.Web.UI.BoundPropertyEntry entry, object parsedData, System.Web.Compilation.ExpressionBuilderContext context);

abstract member GetCodeExpression : System.Web.UI.BoundPropertyEntry * obj * System.Web.Compilation.ExpressionBuilderContext -> System.CodeDom.CodeExpression

Public MustOverride Function GetCodeExpression (entry As BoundPropertyEntry, parsedData As Object, context As ExpressionBuilderContext) As CodeExpression

Parameters

entry: BoundPropertyEntry

The object that represents information about the property bound to by the expression.

parsedData: Object

The object containing parsed data as returned by ParseExpression(String, Type, ExpressionBuilderContext).

context: ExpressionBuilderContext

Contextual information for the evaluation of the expression.

Returns

CodeExpression

A CodeExpression that is used for property assignment.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to return a CodeExpression object by overriding the GetCodeExpression method.

public override CodeExpression GetCodeExpression(BoundPropertyEntry entry, 
object parsedData, ExpressionBuilderContext context)
{
    Type type1 = entry.DeclaringType;
    PropertyDescriptor descriptor1 = TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(type1)[entry.PropertyInfo.Name];
    CodeExpression[] expressionArray1 = new CodeExpression[3];
    expressionArray1[0] = new CodePrimitiveExpression(entry.Expression.Trim());
    expressionArray1[1] = new CodeTypeOfExpression(type1);
    expressionArray1[2] = new CodePrimitiveExpression(entry.Name);
    return new CodeCastExpression(descriptor1.PropertyType, new CodeMethodInvokeExpression(new 
   CodeTypeReferenceExpression(base.GetType()), "GetEvalData", expressionArray1));
}

Public Overrides Function GetCodeExpression(ByVal entry _
   As BoundPropertyEntry, ByVal parsedData As Object, ByVal context _
   As ExpressionBuilderContext) As CodeExpression
    Dim type1 As Type = entry.DeclaringType
    Dim descriptor1 As PropertyDescriptor = _
       TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(type1)(entry.PropertyInfo.Name)
    Dim expressionArray1(2) As CodeExpression
    expressionArray1(0) = New CodePrimitiveExpression(entry.Expression.Trim())
    expressionArray1(1) = New CodeTypeOfExpression(type1)
    expressionArray1(2) = New CodePrimitiveExpression(entry.Name)
    Return New CodeCastExpression(descriptor1.PropertyType, _
       New CodeMethodInvokeExpression(New CodeTypeReferenceExpression _
       (MyBase.GetType()), "GetEvalData", expressionArray1))
End Function

Remarks

Classes that inherit from the ExpressionBuilder class must implement the GetCodeExpression abstract method.

Notes to Implementers

If you implement a custom expression builder, you must perform the proper type casting for the control property and return the cast operation in the CodeExpression object.
