Examples

The following example demonstrates how to create an expression that represents a lambda expression that adds 1 to the passed argument.

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

// A parameter for the lambda expression.
ParameterExpression paramExpr = Expression.Parameter(typeof(int), "arg");

// This expression represents a lambda expression
// that adds 1 to the parameter value.
LambdaExpression lambdaExpr = Expression.Lambda(
    Expression.Add(
        paramExpr,
        Expression.Constant(1)
    ),
    new List<ParameterExpression>() { paramExpr }
);

// Print out the expression.
Console.WriteLine(lambdaExpr);

// Compile and run the lamda expression.
// The value of the parameter is 1.
Console.WriteLine(lambdaExpr.Compile().DynamicInvoke(1));

// This code example produces the following output:
//
// arg => (arg +1)
// 2

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

' A parameter for the lambda expression.
Dim paramExpr As ParameterExpression = Expression.Parameter(GetType(Integer), "arg")

' This expression represents a lambda expression
' that adds 1 to the parameter value.
Dim lambdaExpr As LambdaExpression = Expression.Lambda(
        Expression.Add(
            paramExpr,
            Expression.Constant(1)
        ),
        New List(Of ParameterExpression)() From {paramExpr}
    )

' Print out the expression.
Console.WriteLine(lambdaExpr)

' Compile and run the lamda expression.
' The value of the parameter is 1.
Console.WriteLine(lambdaExpr.Compile().DynamicInvoke(1))

' This code example produces the following output:
'
' arg => (arg +1)
' 2

name: String

The name of the lambda. Used for generating debugging info.

tailCall: Boolean

A Boolean that indicates if tail call optimization will be applied when compiling the created expression.

parameters: IEnumerable<ParameterExpression>

An IEnumerable<T> that contains ParameterExpression objects to use to populate the Parameters collection.

Returns

Expression<TDelegate>

An Expression<TDelegate> that has the NodeType property equal to Lambda and the Body and Parameters properties set to the specified values.

Applies to

Lambda<TDelegate>(Expression, ParameterExpression[])

Source:: LambdaExpression.cs

Source:: LambdaExpression.cs

Creates an Expression<TDelegate> where the delegate type is known at compile time, with an array of parameter expressions.

public:
generic <typename TDelegate>
 static System::Linq::Expressions::Expression<TDelegate> ^ Lambda(System::Linq::Expressions::Expression ^ body, ... cli::array <System::Linq::Expressions::ParameterExpression ^> ^ parameters);

public static System.Linq.Expressions.Expression<TDelegate> Lambda<TDelegate> (System.Linq.Expressions.Expression body, params System.Linq.Expressions.ParameterExpression[] parameters);

public static System.Linq.Expressions.Expression<TDelegate> Lambda<TDelegate> (System.Linq.Expressions.Expression body, params System.Linq.Expressions.ParameterExpression[]? parameters);

static member Lambda : System.Linq.Expressions.Expression * System.Linq.Expressions.ParameterExpression[] -> System.Linq.Expressions.Expression<'Delegate>

Public Shared Function Lambda(Of TDelegate) (body As Expression, ParamArray parameters As ParameterExpression()) As Expression(Of TDelegate)

Type Parameters

TDelegate

A delegate type.

Parameters

body: Expression

An Expression to set the Body property equal to.

parameters: ParameterExpression[]

An array of ParameterExpression objects to use to populate the Parameters collection.

Returns

Expression<TDelegate>

An Expression<TDelegate> that has the NodeType property equal to Lambda and the Body and Parameters properties set to the specified values.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

body is null.

-or-

One or more elements in parameters are null.

ArgumentException

TDelegate is not a delegate type.

-or-

body.Type represents a type that is not assignable to the return type of TDelegate.

-or-

parameters does not contain the same number of elements as the list of parameters for TDelegate.

-or-

The Type property of an element of parameters is not assignable from the type of the corresponding parameter type of TDelegate.

Remarks

The number of parameters for the delegate type TDelegate must equal the number of elements in parameters.

The elements of parameters must be reference equal to the parameter expressions inbody.

The Type property of the resulting object represents the type TDelegate. If parameters is null, the Parameters property of the resulting object is an empty collection.
