Returns an expression which represents a conditional AND operation of the specified operands.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Shared Function And(Of T)( _
   ByVal ParamArray expressions() As Expression(Of Func(Of T,Boolean)) _
) As Expression(Of Func(Of T,Boolean))

'Usage
 
Dim expressions() As Expression(Of Func(Of T,Boolean))
Dim value As Expression(Of Func(Of T,Boolean))
 
value = PredicateBuilder.And(Of T)(expressions)

public static Expression<Func<T,bool>> And<T>( 
   params Expression<Func<T,bool>>[] expressions
)

Parameters

expressions: Expressions to be AND'ed

Type Parameters

T

Remarks

The resulting expression is an "AndAlso" binary expression of all operands provided.

Example

public void AndQuery() {
  var mgr = new DomainModelEntityManager();
  Expression<Func<Customer, bool>> crit1 = c => c.Country.Equals("Mexico");
  Expression<Func<Customer, bool>> crit2 = c => c.CompanyName.StartsWith("A");
  Expression<Func<Customer, bool>> crit3 = c => c.City.StartsWith("M");

  // 'and' all criteria.
  var finalcrit = PredicateBuilder.And(crit1, crit2, crit3);
  var results = mgr.Customers.Where(finalcrit).ToList();
}
