      <para>The <see cref="T:System.Linq.Expressions.LambdaExpression" /> type represents a lambda expression in the form of an expression tree. The <see cref="T:System.Linq.Expressions.Expression`1" /> type, which derives from <see cref="T:System.Linq.Expressions.LambdaExpression" /> and captures the type of the lambda expression more explicitly, can also be used to represent a lambda expression. At runtime, an expression tree node that represents a lambda expression is always of type <see cref="T:System.Linq.Expressions.Expression`1" />.</para>
      <para>The value of the <see cref="P:System.Linq.Expressions.Expression.NodeType" /> property of a <see cref="T:System.Linq.Expressions.LambdaExpression" /> is <see cref="F:System.Linq.Expressions.ExpressionType.Lambda" />.</para>
