Is there a pattern using Linq to dynamically create a filter?

thanks,

Update -

var x = ListofObjects.AsQueryable().Where("Some comparison");

Update -

After adding the Dynamic.cs library my project wont build with a bunch of compilation errors coming from that specific class. all similar to.

The namespace 'System.Linq.Dynamic' already contains a definition for 'DynamicOrdering'

Seems to work fine for me:

public class SomeType
{
    public string var1;
    public string var2;
}

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var myList = new List<SomeType>();

        myList.Add(new SomeType() { var1 = "abc", var2 = "abc" });
        myList.Add(new SomeType() { var1 = "def", var2 = "def" });

        foreach (var item in myList.AsQueryable().Where("var1=\"abc\""))
            Console.WriteLine("item.var1 = " + item.var1);
    }
}
