I have two expressions of type Expression
and I want to take to OR, AND or NOT of these and get a new expression of the same type
I needed to achieve the same results, but using something more generic (as the type was not known). Thanks to marc's answer I finally figured out what I was trying to achieve:
public static LambdaExpression CombineOr(Type sourceType, LambdaExpression exp, LambdaExpression newExp)
{
var parameter = Expression.Parameter(sourceType);
var leftVisitor = new ReplaceExpressionVisitor(exp.Parameters[0], parameter);
var left = leftVisitor.Visit(exp.Body);
var rightVisitor = new ReplaceExpressionVisitor(newExp.Parameters[0], parameter);
var right = rightVisitor.Visit(newExp.Body);
var delegateType = typeof(Func<,>).MakeGenericType(sourceType, typeof(bool));
return Expression.Lambda(delegateType, Expression.Or(left, right), parameter);
}
