Constructors

IncludeExpression(Expression, Expression, INavigationBase)	Creates a new instance of the IncludeExpression class. The navigation will be set as loaded after completing the Include.
IncludeExpression(Expression, Expression, INavigationBase, Boolean)	This is an internal API that supports the Entity Framework Core infrastructure and not subject to the same compatibility standards as public APIs. It may be changed or removed without notice in any release. You should only use it directly in your code with extreme caution and knowing that doing so can result in application failures when updating to a new Entity Framework Core release.

Properties

EntityExpression	The expression representing entity performing this include.
Navigation	The navigation associated with this include operation.
NavigationExpression	The expression representing included navigation element.
NodeType	Gets the node type of this Expression.
SetLoaded	This is an internal API that supports the Entity Framework Core infrastructure and not subject to the same compatibility standards as public APIs. It may be changed or removed without notice in any release. You should only use it directly in your code with extreme caution and knowing that doing so can result in application failures when updating to a new Entity Framework Core release.
Type	Gets the static type of the expression that this Expression represents.

Methods

Update(Expression, Expression)	Creates a new expression that is like this one, but using the supplied children. If all of the children are the same, it will return this expression.
VisitChildren(ExpressionVisitor)	Reduces the node and then calls the visitor delegate on the reduced expression. The method throws an exception if the node is not reducible.
