Practical use of expression trees [closed]

by

As Jon notes, I use them to provide generic operators with .NET 3.5. I also use them (again in MiscUtil) to provide fast access to non-default constructors (you can’t use Delegate.CreateDelegate with constructors, but Expression works fine).

Other uses of manually created expression trees:

But really, Expression is a very versatile way of writing any dynamic code. Much simpler than Reflection.Emit, and for my money, simpler to understand than CodeDOM. And in .NET 4.0, you have even more options available. I show the fundamentals of writing code via Expression on my blog.
