When developing a complex line of business system queries, reuse is often required. This article provides some guidelines and tools for LINQ expressions reuse.
This assembly enables ruse of LINQ logic in projections.

To use, call extension method AsExpressionProjectable() on the collection queried, 
and when projecting call Project<TResult>() on a filed, method or any other code element
returning a selector of type Expression<Func<TParameter, TResult>>. TParameter must be
the type of the parameter in the projection lambda.

Exapmle:
         var projects = (from p in ctx.Projects.AsExpressionProjectable()
                                select new
                                {
                                    Project = p,
                                    AEA = GetProjectAverageEffectiveAreaSelector().Project<double>()
                                }).ToArray();
