An expression-bodied method consists of a single expression that returns a value whose type matches the method's return type, or, for methods that return void, that performs some operation. For example, types that override the ToString method typically include a single expression that returns the...
Expression-bodied members are another set of features that simply add some syntactic convenience to C# to continue streamlining type definitions. C# type definitions have always been a bit tedious, requiring us to provide curly braces and explicit returns even when the function consists of only a s...
The C# => operator defines lambda expressions and expression bodied members. Lambda expressions define a block of code used as data.
You write function arguments, typically using Lambda Expressions, when you create LINQ queries. In a typical LINQ query, those function arguments are transformed into a delegate the compiler creates. You already write code that uses Expression trees. Entity Framework's LINQ APIs accept Expression tre...

The Roslyn fork with extended expression tree support emits BlockCSharpExpression nodes for the top-level block nodes of statement-bodied lambdas. An alternative design could be to represent statement lambdas as separate nodes which have a ReturnLabel in addition to the Parameters collection and the...
