Goto(LabelTarget)

Source:

GotoExpression.cs

Creates a GotoExpression representing a "go to" statement.

static member Goto : System.Linq.Expressions.LabelTarget -> System.Linq.Expressions.GotoExpression

Public Shared Function Goto (target As LabelTarget) As GotoExpression

Parameters

target

LabelTarget

The LabelTarget that the GotoExpression will jump to.

Returns

GotoExpression

A GotoExpression with Kind equal to Goto, the Target property set to the specified value, and a null value to be passed to the target label upon jumping.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to create an expression that contains a GotoExpression object.

// Add the following directive to your file:
// using System.Linq.Expressions;

// A label expression of the void type that is the target for the GotoExpression.
LabelTarget returnTarget = Expression.Label();

// This block contains a GotoExpression.
// It transfers execution to a label expression that is initialized with the same LabelTarget as the GotoExpression.
// The types of the GotoExpression, label expression, and LabelTarget must match.
BlockExpression blockExpr =
    Expression.Block(
        Expression.Call(typeof(Console).GetMethod("WriteLine", new Type[] { typeof(string) }), Expression.Constant("GoTo")),
        Expression.Goto(returnTarget),
        Expression.Call(typeof(Console).GetMethod("WriteLine", new Type[] { typeof(string) }), Expression.Constant("Other Work")),
        Expression.Label(returnTarget)
    );

// The following statement first creates an expression tree,
// then compiles it, and then runs it.
Expression.Lambda<Action>(blockExpr).Compile()();

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

// "Other Work" is not printed because
// the GoTo expression transfers execution from Expression.GoTo(returnTarget)
// to Expression.Label(returnTarget).

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

' A label expression of the void type that is the target for the GoToExpression.
Dim returnTarget As LabelTarget = Expression.Label()

' This block contains a GotoExpression.
' It transfers execution to a label expression that is initialized with the same LabelTarget as the GotoExpression.
' The types of the GotoExpression, label expression, and LabelTarget must match.
Dim blockExpr As BlockExpression =
      Expression.Block(
          Expression.Call(GetType(Console).GetMethod("WriteLine", New Type() {GetType(String)}), Expression.Constant("GoTo")),
          Expression.Goto(returnTarget),
          Expression.Call(GetType(Console).GetMethod("WriteLine", New Type() {GetType(String)}), Expression.Constant("Other Work")),
          Expression.Label(returnTarget)
      )

' The following statement first creates an expression tree,
' then compiles it, and then runs it.
Expression.Lambda(Of Action)(blockExpr).Compile()()

' This code example produces the following output:
'
' GoTo

' "Other Work" is not printed because 
' the Return expression transfers execution from Expression.GoTo(returnTarget)
' to Expression.Label(returnTarget).
