Members
| Member name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Add | An addition operation, such as a + b, without overflow checking, for numeric operands. | |
| AddChecked | An addition operation, such as (a + b), with overflow checking, for numeric operands. | |
| And | A bitwise or logical AND operation, such as (a & b) in C# and (a And b) in Visual Basic. | |
| AndAlso | A conditional AND operation that evaluates the second operand only if the first operand evaluates to true. It corresponds to (a && b) in C# and (a AndAlso b) in Visual Basic. | |
| ArrayLength | An operation that obtains the length of a one-dimensional array, such as array.Length. | |
| ArrayIndex | An indexing operation in a one-dimensional array, such as array[index] in C# or array(index) in Visual Basic. | |
| Call | A method call, such as in the obj.sampleMethod() expression. | |
| Coalesce | A node that represents a null coalescing operation, such as (a ?? b) in C# or If(a, b) in Visual Basic. | |
| Conditional | A conditional operation, such as a > b ? a : b in C# or If(a > b, a, b) in Visual Basic. | |
| Constant | A constant value. | |
| Convert | A cast or conversion operation, such as (SampleType)obj in C#or CType(obj, SampleType) in Visual Basic. For a numeric conversion, if the converted value is too large for the destination type, no exception is thrown. | |
| ConvertChecked | A cast or conversion operation, such as (SampleType)obj in C#or CType(obj, SampleType) in Visual Basic. For a numeric conversion, if the converted value does not fit the destination type, an exception is thrown. | |

| LessThan | A "less than" comparison, such as (a < b). | |
| LessThanOrEqual | A "less than or equal to" comparison, such as (a <= b). | |
| ListInit | An operation that creates a new IEnumerable object and initializes it from a list of elements, such as new List<SampleType>(){ a, b, c } in C# or Dim sampleList = { a, b, c } in Visual Basic. | |
| MemberAccess | An operation that reads from a field or property, such as obj.SampleProperty. | |

| Negate | An arithmetic negation operation, such as (-a). The object a should not be modified in place. | |
| UnaryPlus | A unary plus operation, such as (+a). The result of a predefined unary plus operation is the value of the operand, but user-defined implementations might have unusual results. | |
| NegateChecked | An arithmetic negation operation, such as (-a), that has overflow checking. The object a should not be modified in place. | |
| New | An operation that calls a constructor to create a new object, such as new SampleType(). | |
| NewArrayInit | An operation that creates a new one-dimensional array and initializes it from a list of elements, such as new SampleType[]{a, b, c} in C# or New SampleType(){a, b, c} in Visual Basic. | |
| NewArrayBounds | An operation that creates a new array, in which the bounds for each dimension are specified, such as new SampleType[dim1, dim2] in C# or New SampleType(dim1, dim2) in Visual Basic. | |
| Not | A bitwise complement or logical negation operation. In C#, it is equivalent to (~a) for integral types and to (!a) for Boolean values. In Visual Basic, it is equivalent to (Not a). The object a should not be modified in place. | |
| NotEqual | An inequality comparison, such as (a != b) in C# or (a <> b) in Visual Basic. | |
| Or | A bitwise or logical OR operation, such as (a | b) in C# or (a Or b) in Visual Basic. | |
