Answer 1

I think you need to create your object differently, not casting in this way.

If you retrieve the text in the item, then create your object using that text.

string txt   = MyListView.SelectedItems[0].Text;
MyObject foo = new MyObject(txt);

Then use your object in the usual way. It is difficult to tell any more about what you need without more details.
