IExpressionEval::LoadExpr Method

Use this method to pre-compile an expression, and if successful, load the expression into the expression cache.

HRESULT IExpressionEval::LoadExpr(
  long nExprID
);
Sub LoadExpr(
    nExprID As Long
)

Parameters

  • nExprID
    [C++]

    [in] A positive long that contains the identifier of the expression to load into the expression cache.

    [Visual Basic]

    A positive Long that contains the identifier of the expression to load into the expression cache.

Return Value

[C++]

This method returns an HRESULT indicating whether it completed successfully. See the Error Values section for more details.

[Visual Basic]

None.

Error Values

[C++]

This method returns S_OK (0x00000000) to indicate success and either standard or custom COM HRESULT error values to indicate failure. For more information about standard COM errors, see Standard COM Errors.

[Visual Basic]

This method sets the Number property of the global Err object to S_OK (&H00000000) to indicate success and to either standard or custom COM error values to indicate failure. For more information about standard COM errors, see Standard COM Errors.

The following table shows the custom COM errors that this method can return.

Constant

Value

Description

E_EXPR_BADARGTYPE

0x81100018

Argument data type info missing from expression, or unrecognized argument data type encountered in expression

E_EXPR_BADARGVALUE

0x81100022

Invalid expression argument value, or impossible conversion

E_EXPR_BADCLAUSE

0x81100016

Invalid clause encountered

E_EXPR_BADCONNECTION

0x8110001F

Invalid connection

E_EXPR_BADEXPRID

0x8110000A

Invalid expression ID specified

E_EXPR_BADOPER

0x81100017

Operator missing, unrecognized operator encountered, or type mismatch

E_EXPR_BADTERM

0x81100015

Term type missing, or unrecognized term type encountered

E_EXPR_BADXML

0x81100014

An unrecognized XML element was encountered

E_EXPR_NOCONNECTIONSTRING

0x8110000D

No connection string specified

E_EXPR_NOTFOUND

0x81100012

Could not find the specified expression ID, nExprID, in the expression store

E_EXPR_XMLPARSE

0x81100013

XML DOM object parsing error

[C++]

Additional information may be available using the global Err object, which can be accessed using the API function GetErrorInfo. In particular, the GetDescription method of the IErrorInfo interface may return a text description of the error.

[Visual Basic]

Additional information may be available using the global Err object. In particular, the Description property may contain a text description of the error.

Remarks

If the specified expression is already loaded in the expression cache at the time of the call, it will be reloaded.

The LoadExpr method increments the read-only ExprCount property by one when it loads an expression into the expression cache.

With the exception of XML fragments, only expressions that exist in the expression cache may be evaluated. The Eval method loads an expression from the expression store that is not preloaded into the expression cache.

Use the LoadAll method to load all expressions into the expression cache. Use the FlushExpr method to remove an expression from the expression cache.

The Connect method must be called before using the LoadExpr method.
