Examples

The following code example shows how to create an expression that represents a constant value by using the Constant method.

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

// This expression represents a Constant value.
Expression constantExpr = Expression.Constant(5.5);

// Print out the expression.
Console.WriteLine(constantExpr.ToString());

// You can also use variables.
double num = 3.5;
constantExpr = Expression.Constant(num);
Console.WriteLine(constantExpr.ToString());

// This code example produces the following output:
//
// 5.5
// 3.5

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

' This expression represents a constant value.
Dim constantExpr As Expression = Expression.Constant(5.5)

' Print the expression.
Console.WriteLine(constantExpr.ToString())

' You can also use variables.
Dim num As Double = 3.5
constantExpr = Expression.Constant(num)
Console.WriteLine(constantExpr.ToString())

' This code example produces the following output:
'
' 5.5
' 3.5

Remarks
