How to obtain value from an object (c#/xamarin)

My Code

Hello. I am using xamaring forms to create an app and I am having problems obtaining a certain value from an object. Essentially I would like to take Address1 from the object e.SelectedItem and place it into a string called address. I plan to do this to all the variables in the object, so address, city, country, postal code, etc... From here I will use these strings to form a url link that will take the user to their native map application with the address inputed into the url. Note: The line of text I have var item = e.SelectedItem; was added for testing purposes. Below I have some code:

async void AddressItemSelected(object sender, SelectedItemChangedEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.SelectedItem != null)
            {
                var item = e.SelectedItem;
            }
        }

In summary: I would like to take the variables stored in an object and place them into their own string element.

Thank you!

my suggestion would be cast your item NOT as "var", cast it as your exact class type.

Class item = (Class)e.selectedItem

you need to cast the object to the correct type first

var item = (MyClass)e.SelectedItem;
var addr1 = item.Address1
