I fill up a List<> with an object that has properties. I can bind to the DropDownList without any problem:

```
     cbo.DataSource = possibleChoice;
     cbo.DataValueField = "Value";
     cbo.DataTextField = "Display";
     cbo.DataBind();

```

But I can't find a way to get the Value. I know the DropDownList has SelectedValue but it return a String instead of my type of object...

```
     MyObjectType myObj = (MyObjectType)this.cbo.SelectedValue;//Err! Return a String

```

How can I get the object from the DropDownList?
