Help with Linq and Generics. Using GetValue inside a Query

Question

I\'m triying to make a function that add a \'where\' clause to a query based in a property and a value. This is a very simplefied version of my function.

Have you tried pulling out the DirectCast and reflecting on the lambda parameter instead? Something like this:

query.Where(Function(c) _
    c.GetType().GetProperty(p, GetType("Int64")).GetValue(c, Nothing) = PValue)

I'm not certain you can even do this sort of thing in a lambda, but it's worth a shot.
