Linq to entities. GetPropety(name).GetValue not recognised by linq - vb.net

Question

I have a listbox on my xaml form that I bound to a List(Of MyType) property. I populated this list like so:
Dim fields As List(Of CheckableFields) = New List(Of CheckableFields)
Using context As ITIPEntities = New ITIPEntities()
Try
Dim propertyInfoList As List(Of PropertyInfo) = GetType(PC).GetProperties().ToList()
For Each pI In propertyInfoList
If (pI.PropertyType <> GetType(EntityState) _
And pI.PropertyType <> GetType(EntityKey) _
And pI.PropertyType <> GetType(EntityCollection(Of DiskDrive)) _
And pI.PropertyType <> GetType(EntityCollection(Of Memory)) _
And pI.PropertyType <> GetType(EntityCollection(Of Monitor)) _
And pI.PropertyType <> GetType(EntityCollection(Of Network)) _
And pI.PropertyType <> GetType(EntityCollection(Of Processor))) Then
fields.Add(New CheckableFields(pI.Name))
End If
Next
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
End Using
Now I'm at the point where the user selects the fields they want included in a report and I need to iterate over the required fields. This is my linq query:
For Each checkedField In _requiredFields
If checkedField.IsChecked Then
If checkedField.FieldData IsNot Nothing AndAlso checkedField.FieldData.Trim IsNot String.Empty Then
Dim fieldData As String = checkedField.FieldData
Dim name As String = checkedField.Name
lquery = From comp In lquery Where CType(comp.GetType.GetProperty(name).GetValue(comp, Nothing), String).ToUpper.Contains(fieldData.ToUpper) Select comp
End If
End If
Next
Which throws the exception that linq doesn't recognize the GetValue method.
How can I get the property values dynamically?
Edit:
I couldn't find a way to do this with Linq to Entities, but I did find a way without Linq that works for me:
For Each field In _requiredFields
If field.IsChecked Then
reportGenerator.AllFields.Add(field.Name)
If field.FieldData IsNot Nothing Then
For i As Integer = pcs.Count - 1 To 0 Step -1
Dim compPropertyValue As String = CType(pcs(i).GetType().GetProperty(field.Name).GetValue(pcs(i), Nothing), String).ToUpper()
If Not compPropertyValue.Contains(field.FieldData.ToUpper()) Then
pcs.RemoveAt(i)
End If
Next i
End If
End If
Next

This construct is not supported in LINQ-to-Entities. It is a designed limitation.
Try using Entity SQL instead as shown in the following example:
"SELECT VALUE comp From COMPs AS comp WHERE comp." & name & ".ToUpper().Contains(" & fieldData & ".ToUpper()"
