Formatting combobox's text

I've got quite tricky problem with my GUI application. I want my combobox to contain objects of a class I created, but at the same time it should display it's variable as name in the combobox.

This is how I add items to combobox:

publisherBox.Items.Add(p);

This is how I need to access it:

(Publisher)publisherBox.SelectedItem

And show in the combox it's name:

publisher.Name or something like that.

Is there any way it can be done?

The ComboBox will use the ToString() method to display text. You can overwrite your ToString method in your class to show the name for example.
