static member Call : System.Linq.Expressions.Expression * System.Reflection.MethodInfo * System.Linq.Expressions.Expression[] -> System.Linq.Expressions.MethodCallExpression

Public Shared Function Call (instance As Expression, method As MethodInfo, ParamArray arguments As Expression()) As MethodCallExpression

Parameters

instance: Expression

An Expression that specifies the instance for an instance method call (pass null for a static (Shared in Visual Basic) method).

method: MethodInfo

A MethodInfo to set the Method property equal to.

arguments: Expression[]

An array of Expression objects to use to populate the Arguments collection.

Returns

MethodCallExpression

A MethodCallExpression that has the NodeType property equal to Call and the Object, Method, and Arguments properties set to the specified values.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

method is null.

-or-

instance is null and method represents an instance method.

-or-

arguments is not null and one or more of its elements is null.

ArgumentException

instance.Type is not assignable to the declaring type of the method represented by method.

-or-

The number of elements in arguments does not equal the number of parameters for the method represented by method.

-or-

One or more of the elements of arguments is not assignable to the corresponding parameter for the method represented by method.

Remarks

To represent a call to a static (Shared in Visual Basic) method, pass in null for the instance parameter when you call this method, or call Call instead.

If method represents an instance method, the Type property of instance must be assignable to the declaring type of the method represented by method.

If arguments is not null, it must have the same number of elements as the number of parameters for the method represented by method. Each element in arguments must not be null and must be assignable to the corresponding parameter of method, possibly after quoting.

Note

An element will be quoted only if the corresponding method parameter is of type Expression. Quoting means the element is wrapped in a Quote node. The resulting node is a UnaryExpression whose Operand property is the element of arguments.

The Arguments property of the resulting MethodCallExpression is empty if arguments is null. Otherwise, it contains the same elements as arguments, some of which may be quoted.

The Type property of the resulting MethodCallExpression is equal to the return type of the method represented by method.

Remarks

To represent a call to a static (Shared in Visual Basic) method, pass in null for the instance parameter when you call this method.

If method represents an instance method, the Type property of instance must be assignable to the declaring type of the method represented by method.

The Arguments property of the resulting MethodCallExpression is empty. The Type property is equal to the return type of the method represented by method.

Creates a MethodCallExpression that represents a call to a static method that takes two arguments.

public:
 static System::Linq::Expressions::MethodCallExpression ^ Call(System::Reflection::MethodInfo ^ method, System::Linq::Expressions::Expression ^ arg0, System::Linq::Expressions::Expression ^ arg1);

public static System.Linq.Expressions.MethodCallExpression Call (System.Reflection.MethodInfo method, System.Linq.Expressions.Expression arg0, System.Linq.Expressions.Expression arg1);

static member Call : System.Reflection.MethodInfo * System.Linq.Expressions.Expression * System.Linq.Expressions.Expression -> System.Linq.Expressions.MethodCallExpression

Public Shared Function Call (method As MethodInfo, arg0 As Expression, arg1 As Expression) As MethodCallExpression

Parameters

method: MethodInfo

A MethodInfo to set the Method property equal to.

arg0: Expression

The Expression that represents the first argument.

arg1: Expression

The Expression that represents the second argument.

Returns

MethodCallExpression

A MethodCallExpression that has the NodeType property equal to Call and the Object and Method properties set to the specified values.
