public sealed class TypeBinaryExpression : Expression

The TypeBinaryExpression 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 propertySupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone Expression Gets the expression operand of a type test operation.
Public propertySupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone NodeType Returns the node type of this Expression. Extension nodes should return Extension when overriding this method. (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. (Inherited from Expression.)
Public property Type Gets the static type of the expression that this Expression represents. (Overrides Expression.Type.)
Public propertySupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone TypeOperand Gets the type operand of a type test operation.

Methods

  Name Description
Protected method Accept Dispatches to the specific visit method for this node type. For example, MethodCallExpression calls the VisitMethodCall. (Inherited from Expression.)
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.)
Public method Update Creates a new expression that is like this one, but using the supplied children. If all of the children are the same, it will return this 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

A type test is an example of an operation between an expression and a type.

Use the TypeIs factory method to create a TypeBinaryExpression.

The value of the NodeType property of a TypeBinaryExpression object is TypeIs.

Examples

The following example creates a TypeBinaryExpression object that represents a type test of a string value against the Int32 type.

' Create a TypeBinaryExpression that represents a
' type test of the String "spruce" against the Int32 type.
Dim typeBinaryExpression As System.Linq.Expressions.TypeBinaryExpression = _
    System.Linq.Expressions.Expression.TypeIs( _
        System.Linq.Expressions.Expression.Constant("spruce"), _
        Type.GetType("System.Int32"))

outputBlock.Text &= typeBinaryExpression.ToString() & vbCrLf

' This code produces the following output:
'
' ("spruce" Is Int32)

// Create a TypeBinaryExpression that represents a
// type test of the string "spruce" against the 'int' type.
System.Linq.Expressions.TypeBinaryExpression typeBinaryExpression =
    System.Linq.Expressions.Expression.TypeIs(
        System.Linq.Expressions.Expression.Constant("spruce"),
        typeof(int));

outputBlock.Text += typeBinaryExpression.ToString() + "\n";

// This code produces the following output:
//
// ("spruce" Is Int32)
