Add dynamic anonymous object to linq groupBy expression

Question

I have a linq expression:

Func<Entity, object> groupQuery = item => 
     new { a = item.Attributes["name"], item = item.Attributes["number"] };
var result = target.Collection.Entities.GroupBy(groupQuery).ToList();

But if I don’t know how many columns I will group (e.g. 3 instead of 2) and attribute names stored in list names, How do I change the groupQuery object? My first idea was to create a dynamic object like this, but it does not work.

dynamic groupQuery= new ExpandoObject();
IDictionary<string, object> dictionary = (IDictionary<string, object>)groupQuery;

foreach (string str in Names)
{
   dictionary.Add(str, str);
}

answer the question C # LINQ - dynamically creating a Group By clause

IEnumerable<string> columnsToGroupBy = new[] { Names.First()};
            Names.RemoveAt(0);
            Names.Aggregate(columnsToGroupBy, (current, query) => current.Concat(new[] {query}));
            GroupQuery = r => new NTuple<object>(from column in columnsToGroupBy select r[column]);

, groupQuery, . , . -, .. . , :

public class A
{
    public string Property1 { get; set; }
    public string Property2 { get; set; }
    public string Property3 { get; set; }
}

public enum GroupByuMode
{
    GroupBy1,
    GroupBy2,
    GroupBy3,
}

...

var list = new List<A>();
for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
    for (int j = 0; j < 10; ++j)
        for (int k = 0; k < 10; ++k)
            list.Add(new A { Property1 = i.ToString(), Property2 = j.ToString(), Property3 = k.ToString() });

var mode = GroupByuMode.GroupBy1;

Func<A, object> func = a =>
{
    if (mode == GroupByuMode.GroupBy1)
        return a.Property1;
    else if (mode == GroupByuMode.GroupBy2)
        return String.Format("{0}_{1}", a.Property1, a.Property2);
    else if (mode == GroupByuMode.GroupBy3)
        return String.Format("{0}_{1}_{2}", a.Property1, a.Property2, a.Property3);

    return null;
};

var res = list.GroupBy(func).ToList();
Console.WriteLine(res.Count);

mode = GroupByuMode.GroupBy2;

res = list.GroupBy(func).ToList();
Console.WriteLine(res.Count);
