Acces object properties using reflection

[Kai77]

I have the following class:

namespace GPR.ODS.App.MSO.WebApp.Data
{
public partial class MutatieResponse
{

private MutatieStatus mutatieStatusField;

private ApplicatieFout applicatieFoutField;

///// <remarks/>
public MutatieStatus MutatieStatus
{
get
{
return this.mutatieStatusField;
}
set
{
this.mutatieStatusField = value;
}
}

///// <remarks/>
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute(Namespace = "

http://schemas.uwv.nl/UwvML/ApplicatieFout-v0200")

]
public ApplicatieFout ApplicatieFout
{
get
{
return this.applicatieFoutField;
}
set
{
this.applicatieFoutField = value;
}
}
}
}

I am trying to code a static procedure which takes an object as a parameter and map the properties to the object Mutatieresponse.

I have got the following code:

public static class ConvertToMutatieResponse
{
public static MutatieResponse Convert(object value)
{
MutatieResponse mutatieResponse = new MutatieResponse();
mutatieResponse.MutatieStatus = value.GetType().GetProperty("MutatieStatus", typeof(mutatieResponse.MutatieStatus)).GetValue(value, null);
return mutatieResponse;
}
}

It keeps telling me "Cannot implicitly convert type 'object' to 'GPR.ODS.App.MSO.WebApp.Data.MutatieStatus'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)"

How can I return the value with the correct type?

public static class ConvertToMutatieResponse
    {
        public static MutatieResponse Convert(object value)
        {
            MutatieResponse mutatieResponse = new MutatieResponse();
            mutatieResponse.MutatieStatus =  [red](mutatieResponse.MutatieStatus)[/red]value.GetType().GetProperty("MutatieStatus",  typeof(mutatieResponse.MutatieStatus)).GetValue(value, null);
            return mutatieResponse;
        }
    }

probably this.
