| Compile() |
Compiles the lambda expression described by the expression tree into executable code and produces a delegate that represents the lambda expression. |

Compiles the lambda expression described by the expression tree into interpreted or compiled code and produces a delegate that represents the lambda expression. |

Compile()

Compiles the lambda expression described by the expression tree into executable code and produces a delegate that represents the lambda expression.
public:
TDelegate Compile();public TDelegate Compile();override this.Compile : unit -> 'DelegatePublic Function Compile () As TDelegateReturns
A delegate of type TDelegate that represents the compiled lambda expression described by the Expression<TDelegate>.
Examples
The following code example demonstrates how Compile is used to execute an expression tree.
// Lambda expression as data in the form of an expression tree.
System.Linq.Expressions.Expression<Func<int, bool>> expr = i => i < 5;
// Compile the expression tree into executable code.
Func<int, bool> deleg = expr.Compile();
// Invoke the method and print the output.
Console.WriteLine("deleg(4) = {0}", deleg(4));
/* This code produces the following output:
deleg(4) = True
*/
' Lambda expression as data in the form of an expression tree.
Dim expression As System.Linq.Expressions.Expression(Of Func(Of Integer, Boolean)) = Function(ByVal i) i < 5
' Compile the expression tree into executable code.
Dim deleg As Func(Of Integer, Boolean) = expression.Compile()
' Invoke the method and print the output.
MsgBox(String.Format("deleg(4) = {0}", deleg(4)))
' This code produces the following output:
'
' deleg(4) = True
Remarks
The Compile method produces a delegate of type TDelegate at runtime. When that delegate is executed, it has the behavior described by the semantics of the Expression<TDelegate>.
The Compile method can be used to obtain the value of any expression tree. First, create a lambda expression that has the expression as its body by using the Lambda method. Then call Compile to obtain a delegate, and execute the delegate to obtain the value of the expression.

Compiles the lambda expression described by the expression tree into interpreted or compiled code and produces a delegate that represents the lambda expression.
public:
TDelegate Compile(bool preferInterpretation);public TDelegate Compile(bool preferInterpretation);override this.Compile : bool -> 'DelegatePublic Function Compile (preferInterpretation As Boolean) As TDelegateParameters
- preferInterpretation
- Boolean
true to indicate that the expression should be compiled to an interpreted form, if it is available; false otherwise.
Returns
A delegate that represents the compiled lambda expression described by the Expression<TDelegate>.
