access properties of the selectedItem xamarin forms

Question

Trying to access the property{Name} inside a list , using slectedItem ex.

 var SName = e.SelectedItem;

            if (e.SelectedItem == null)
            {
                return;
            }
            await DisplayAlert("Item Selected", SName.ToString(), "Ok");

the common way will be just var SName = e.SelectedItem.Name;. However I dont get the option to access it . I already have the get;set; and if I add a breakpoint on the mention line it shows me the Name property and value that I want to display. any suggestion ? Thanks

Answer 1

e.SelectedItem is of type object - you need to cast it to the appropriate type first

var item = (MyType) e.SelectedItem;
var name = item.Name;
