Examples

The following example creates a MemberExpression that represents getting the value of a field member.

class Animal
{
    public string species;
}

public static void CreateFieldExpression()
{
    Animal horse = new Animal();

    // Create a MemberExpression that represents getting
    // the value of the 'species' field of class 'Animal'.
    System.Linq.Expressions.MemberExpression memberExpression =
        System.Linq.Expressions.Expression.Field(
            System.Linq.Expressions.Expression.Constant(horse),
            "species");

    Console.WriteLine(memberExpression.ToString());

    // This code produces the following output:
    //
    // value(CodeSnippets.FieldExample+Animal).species
}

Class Animal
    Dim species As String
End Class

Shared Sub CreateFieldExpression()
    Dim horse As New Animal

    ' Create a MemberExpression that represents getting
    ' the value of the 'species' field of class 'Animal'.
    Dim memberExpression As System.Linq.Expressions.MemberExpression = _
        System.Linq.Expressions.Expression.Field( _
            System.Linq.Expressions.Expression.Constant(horse), _
            "species")

    Console.WriteLine(memberExpression.ToString())

    ' This code produces the following output:
    '
    ' value(ExpressionVB.FieldExample+Animal).species
End Sub

Remarks

Use the Field, Property or PropertyOrField factory methods to create a MemberExpression.

The value of the NodeType property of a MemberExpression is MemberAccess.
