Title
Body
I want to convert a string to an object property value, whose name I have as a string. I am trying to do this like so: string modelProperty = "Some Property Name"; string value = "SomeValue"; var property = entity.GetType().GetProperty(modelProperty); if (property != null) { property.SetValue(entity, Convert.ChangeType(value, property.PropertyType), null); } The problem is this is failing and throwing an Invalid Cast Exception when the property type is a nullable type. This is not the case of the values being unable to be Converted - they will work if I do this manually (e.g. DateTime? d = Convert.ToDateTime(value); ) I've seen some similiar questions but still can't get it to work.
