Is there an easy way to parse a (lambda expression) string into an Action delegate?

Question

I have a method that alters an \"Account\" object based on the action delegate passed into it:

public static void AlterAccount(string AccountID, Action

You may try this: Dynamic Lambda Expressions Using An Isolated AppDomain

It compiles a lambda expression using CodeDOM compiler. In order to dispose the in-memory assembly that gets created, the compiler runs on an isolated AppDomain. For the passing the expression through the domain boundary, it has to be serialized. Alas, Expression<> is not Serializable. So, a trick has to be used. All the details are explained in the post.

I'm the author of that component, by the way. I would like very much to hear your feedback from it.
