wpf - How do i get the value of selected item from list box in windows phone application using c# -

i'm trying value of selected item list box , display message using messagebox.show(). xaml code list box

<listbox x:name="lbtodolist" grid.row="1"  width="350" margin="100,0,0,0">                 <listbox.background>                     <lineargradientbrush endpoint="0.5,1" startpoint="0.5,0">                         <gradientstop color="#ff060000" offset="0"/>                      </lineargradientbrush>                 </listbox.background>                 <listbox.itemtemplate>                     <datatemplate>                         <stackpanel orientation="horizontal">                             <textblock x:name="listbox" grid.row="1" text="{binding salutationname}" />                         </stackpanel>                     </datatemplate>                 </listbox.itemtemplate>             </listbox> 

and c# code data binding is

list<userdata> info = jsonconvert.deserializeobject<list<userdata>>(e.result); list<userdata> items = new list<userdata>(); lbtodolist.items.clear(); foreach (userdata item in info) {     items.add(new userdata() { salutationname = item.salutationname }); } this.lbtodolist.itemssource = items; 

and display selected item

 string text = lbtodolist.selecteditem.tostring();          messagebox.show(text); 

but problem instead of display selected item,it displaying projectname.classname

a simple fix override tostring of userdata give expecting.

public class userdata {     ...      public override string tostring()     {          return this.somevalue;     } }
