Title Body

I am trying to make a LINQ statement where the where clause comes from a variable. For example: string whereClause = address.zip == 23456; var x = from something in someList where whereClause; Is this possible? I cannot seem to get it to work. thanks, Update - my where clause is predefined and will be based on user input so I don't think this will work for me. Basically whereClause is not constructed in the method, it is a parameter of the method which does the LINQ. I didn't explain that well here is a better example: public void doLnq(string whereClause) { var x = from something in someList where whereClause; dowork(x); } Update - Just to sum up some of the suggestions and centralize everything. I cannot use a switch to generate the where clause because there are way to many possibilities. The dynamic linq post that a few of you have posted does look promising but i am having trouble related the linq to sql example to my linq to objects problem. and @sLaks after looking through msdn http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb353734.aspx I am having trouble figuring out where you meant to use AsQueryable thanks,
