Generics 创建泛型强类型数据表资源管理器

我试图创建一个泛型类，该类将为任何强类型数据表提供一些附加功能。其中许多功能使用一个函数，该函数允许用户指定条件，以便使用强类型字段在强类型数据表中查找行。当我尝试将Func（Of T，Boolean）传递到需要Func（Of datarow，Boolean）的Where子句时，就会出现问题。我的泛型类确保T从datarow继承，所以我不明白为什么会得到无效的强制转换异常

Module Module1
    Sub Main()
        Dim strongTable As New StrongTypedTable
        Dim explorer As New DependencyExplorer(Of StrongTypedRow)(strongTable)
        Dim row As StrongTypedRow = explorer.FindRows(Function(r) r.MyColumn = 1)
    End Sub
End Module

Public Class StrongTypedTable
    Inherits DataTable
    Public Sub New()
        Columns.Add(New DataColumn("MyColumn", GetType(Integer)))
    End Sub
    Protected Overrides Function GetRowType() As Type
        Return GetType(StrongTypedRow)
    End Function
    Protected Overrides Function NewRowFromBuilder(builder As DataRowBuilder) As DataRow
        Return New StrongTypedRow(builder)
    End Function
End Class

Public Class StrongTypedRow
    Inherits DataRow
    Friend Sub New(builder As DataRowBuilder)
        MyBase.New(builder)
    End Sub
    Public Property MyColumn() As String = MyBase.Item("MyColumn")
End Class

Public Class DependencyExplorer(Of rowType As DataRow)
    Private _table As DataTable
    Public Function FindRows(ByVal whereClause As Func(Of rowType, Boolean)) As IEnumerable(Of rowType)
        Return _table.AsEnumerable.Where(whereClause)
    End Function
    Public Sub New(ByVal table As DataTable)
        _table = table
    End Sub
End Class
