Cast from generic class property

Question

I want to cast from generic class of the propertyType and dont know how to do it.

I want to do something like this:

var key = Expression.Property(genericType, rule.ComparisonPredicate);
Type propertyType = typeof(T).GetProperty(rule.ComparisonPredicate).PropertyType;                                              
var converter = TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(propertyType);
var value = Expression.Constant((propertyType)converter.ConvertFromString(rule.ComparisonValue) );

but in the line var value i got an error :

'propertyType' is a variable but is used like a type

Answer 1

You cannot cast to a variable, You should specify a real type

var value = Expression.Constant(( propertyType )converter.ConvertFromString(rule.ComparisonValue) );

Answer 2

Try to cast the property type

(Type) typeof(T).GetProperty(rule.ComparisonPredicate).PropertyType
