To query with dynamic expression (as string), you can use Dynamic LINQ by Scott Gu of Microsoft.

Samples

It supports following operations
1. Select
2. Where
3. OrderBy
4. Skip
5. Take
6. GroupBy

All above operations take string as parameter.

It also has small expression language (to build selectors/predicates/etc) which is very easy to use.

Example:

var query =
db.Customers.
Where("City = @0 and Orders.Count >= @1", "London", 10).
OrderBy("CompanyName").
Select("new(CompanyName as Name, Phone)");
