Question

Is there way to convert Expression<Func<T, object>> to Expression<Func<object, object>> ?

Popular Answer

How about something like this:

static Expression<Func<object,object>> ConvertFunction<T>(Expression<Func<T,object>> function)      
{
    ParameterExpression p=Expression.Parameter(typeof(object));

    return Expression.Lambda<Func<object,object>>
    (
        Expression.Invoke(function,Expression.Convert(p,typeof(T))), p
    );
}

Then you can say something like this:

Expression<Func<string,object>> foo=s=>s.Length;
Expression<Func<object,object>> bar=ConvertFunction(foo);

var call=bar.Compile();
Console.Write(call("hello")) ; // Prints 5
