Expression.MakeBinary Method (ExpressionType, Expression, Expression, Boolean, MethodInfo, LambdaExpression)
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Creates a BinaryExpression, given the left operand, right operand, implementing method and type conversion function, by calling the appropriate factory method.
Namespace: System.Linq.Expressions
Assembly: System.Core (in System.Core.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Shared Function MakeBinary ( _
binaryType As ExpressionType, _
left As Expression, _
right As Expression, _
liftToNull As Boolean, _
method As MethodInfo, _
conversion As LambdaExpression _
) As BinaryExpression
public static BinaryExpression MakeBinary(
ExpressionType binaryType,
Expression left,
Expression right,
bool liftToNull,
MethodInfo method,
LambdaExpression conversion
)
Parameters
- binaryType
Type: System.Linq.Expressions.ExpressionType
The ExpressionType that specifies the type of binary operation.
- left
Type: System.Linq.Expressions.Expression
An Expression that represents the left operand.
- right
Type: System.Linq.Expressions.Expression
An Expression that represents the right operand.
- liftToNull
Type: System.Boolean
true to set IsLiftedToNull to true; false to set IsLiftedToNull to false.
- method
Type: System.Reflection.MethodInfo
A MethodInfo that specifies the implementing method.
- conversion
Type: System.Linq.Expressions.LambdaExpression
A LambdaExpression that represents a type conversion function. This parameter is used only if binaryType is Coalesce or compound assignment..
Return Value
Type: System.Linq.Expressions.BinaryExpression
The BinaryExpression that results from calling the appropriate factory method.
Exceptions
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentException | binaryType does not correspond to a binary expression node. |
| ArgumentNullException | left or right is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). |
Remarks
The binaryType parameter determines which BinaryExpression factory method this method will call. For example, if binaryType is Subtract, this method invokes Subtract. The liftToNull, method and conversion parameters are ignored if the appropriate factory method does not have a corresponding parameter.
