CheckedListBox Problems

Question

I am trying to cast the CheckedListBox.CheckedItems[i] to a struct. Here is some of my code. string name = ((customer)checkedListBox1.CheckedItems[i]).name; customer is defined as follows: private struct customer { public string number; public string name; public override string ToString() { return this.number + "\t-- " + this.name; } } The compile tells me that it is an invalid cast.
