convert a string to a linq query

Question

is there an easy way to convert a string to a linq query?

e.g. var query = StringToLINQQuery(AString);

has somebody the implementation for this method?

Answer 1

Have you tried already linq dynamics:

Answer 2

You would have to compile the string.

The compiler as a service feature is scheduled for C# 5, so it's not here yet. It's already available on Mono, but Mono's support for LINQ was quite shaky last time I checked.
