I have created methods for converting a property lambda to a delegate:

public static Delegate MakeGetter<T>(Expression<Func<T>> propertyLambda)
{
    var result = Expression.Lambda(propertyLambda.Body).Compile();
    return result;
}

public static Delegate MakeSetter<T>(Expression<Action<T>> propertyLambda)
{
    var result = Expression.Lambda(propertyLambda.Body).Compile();
    return result;
}

These work:

Delegate getter = MakeGetter(() => SomeClass.SomeProperty);
object o = getter.DynamicInvoke();

Delegate getter = MakeGetter(() => someObject.SomeProperty);
object o = getter.DynamicInvoke();

but these won't compile:

Delegate setter = MakeSetter(() => SomeClass.SomeProperty);
setter.DynamicInvoke(new object[]{propValue});

Delegate setter = MakeSetter(() => someObject.SomeProperty);
setter.DynamicInvoke(new object[]{propValue});

The MakeSetter lines fail with "The type arguments cannot be inferred from the usage. Try specifying the type arguments explicitly."

Is what I'm trying to do possible? Thanks in advance.
