casting a string value for SetValue in PropertyInfo

Bob
This works only when the property return type is string:

SomeObjectsPropertyInfo.SetValue(SomeObject, SomeStringValue, Nothing)

Is there a good way to try to automatically cast the string value I'm trying to
pass into SetValue as the correct type?
