You can use expression trees to generate the required add function, then fold over your input list:
private static Func<object, object, object> GenAddFunc(Type elementType)
{
var param1Expr = Expression.Parameter(typeof(object));
var param2Expr = Expression.Parameter(typeof(object));
var addExpr = Expression.Add(Expression.Convert(param1Expr, elementType), Expression.Convert(param2Expr, elementType));
return Expression.Lambda<Func<object, object, object>>(Expression.Convert(addExpr, typeof(object)), param1Expr, param2Expr).Compile();
}
IEnumerable<object> listValues;
Type elementType = listValues.First().GetType();
var addFunc = GenAddFunc(elementType);
object sum = listValues.Aggregate(addFunc);
note this requires the input list to be non-empty, but it has the advantage of preserving the element type in the result.
