In a VS 2008 ASP.net 3.5 aspx.vb file, Response.Write(DDL.SelectedItem) worked very well.
But "Dim filenameDDL As String = DDL.SelectedItem.Text" did not. Then I tried the following codes
and found the problem -- Conversion from type 'ListItem' to type 'String' is not valid.
Why Response.Write(DDL.SelectedItem) worked so well?
How can convert ListItem to String, so that "Dim filenameDDL As String = DDL.SelectedItem.Text" will work?
Exception Details: System.InvalidCastException: Conversion from type 'ListItem' to type 'String' is not valid.
