Represents a named parameter expression.

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Class ParameterExpression _
    Inherits Expression
public class ParameterExpression : Expression

The ParameterExpression type exposes the following members.

Properties

  Name Description
Public property 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.)
Public property IsByRef Indicates that this ParameterExpression is to be treated as a ByRef parameter.
Public propertySupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone Name Gets the name of the parameter or variable.
Public propertySupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone NodeType Returns the node type of this Expression. (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.
Public propertySupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone 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.

Methods

  Name Description
Protected method Accept Dispatches to the specific visit method for this node type. For example, MethodCallExpression calls the VisitMethodCall. (Overrides Expression.Accept(ExpressionVisitor).)
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone Equals(Object) Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone 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.)
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone GetHashCode Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone MemberwiseClone Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method 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.)
Public method 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.)
Public method 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.)
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone ToString Returns a textual representation of the Expression. (Inherited from Expression.)
Protected method 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.)

Remarks

Use the Parameter factory method to create a ParameterExpression.

The value of the NodeType property of a ParameterExpression object is Parameter.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to create a MethodCallExpression object that prints the value of a ParameterExpression object by using the Parameter method.

' Add the following directive to the file:
' Imports System.Linq.Expressions 

' Creating a parameter for the expression tree.
Dim param As ParameterExpression = Expression.Parameter(GetType(Integer))

' Creating an expression for the method call and specifying its parameter.
Dim methodCall As MethodCallExpression = Expression.Call(
        GetType(Console).GetMethod("WriteLine", New Type() {GetType(Integer)}),
        param
    )

' Compiling and invoking the methodCall expression.
Expression.Lambda(Of Action(Of Integer))(
    methodCall,
    New ParameterExpression() {param}
).Compile()(10)
' This code example produces the following output:
'
' 10
// Add the following directive to the file:
// using System.Linq.Expressions;  

// Creating a parameter for the expression tree.
ParameterExpression param = Expression.Parameter(typeof(int));

// Creating an expression for the method call and specifying its parameter.
MethodCallExpression methodCall = Expression.Call(
    typeof(Console).GetMethod("WriteLine", new Type[] { typeof(int) }),
    param
);

// The following statement first creates an expression tree,
// then compiles it, and then runs it.
Expression.Lambda<Action<int>>(
    methodCall,
    new ParameterExpression[] { param }
).Compile()(10);

// This code example produces the following output:
//
// 10
