Printing a variable results in printing its type

I have declared: ListItem contractItem; A process that retrieves data from SQL fills contractItem.

contractItem is then written back to SQL.Works weel. All info in contractItem is as expected.

But, i need to write certain values in contractItem to a log-file.

String sTxt = "Subject = " + contractItem.FieldValues["Subject"].ToString();

The contents of sTxt = "Subject = Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.FieldLookupValue"

instead of what I expected it to be: "Subject = Documentation e-content 365"

What am I doing wrong?

String sTxt = "Subject = " + contractItem.FieldValues["Subject"].ToString();

or

String sTxt = "Subject = " + contractItem.FieldValues["Subject"];

both result in "Subject = Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.FieldLookupValue"

The result of contractItem.FieldValues["Subject"] is apparently a FieldLookupValue and apparently that doesn't override ToString(). However, it does expose a LookupValue property.

So I suspect you want something like:

var lookup = (FieldLookupValue) contractItem.FieldValues["Subject"];
string subject = lookup.LookupValue;
strinug text = "Subject = " + subject; // Or just $"Subject = {subject}"
