I have two classes xCustomer and xProduct

   Case Tables.xCustomer
     Dim Count As Integer = (From t In New XPQuery(Of xCustomer)(DefaultSession) Select t.CustomerID).Count
     Return Count + 1
   Case Tables.xProduct
     Dim Count As Integer = (From t In New XPQuery(Of xProduct)(DefaultSession) Select t.ProductID).Count
     Return Count + 1

How can i simplify the above statements, lets say by using a string to class conversion?

For example i would like to use something like

Dim Test as object

Test = ReturnClassOfString(“xCustomer”)
