Cast Obj to IList - Form List Box

I have a form that allows a client to select a cemetery name. The form variable is of type object. I'm using the "Cast<IList>Object" activity.

/customer/servlet/servlet.FileDownload?file=00P6000000eluH1EAI

But I'm getting an invalid cast from "System.String" to "System.Collections.Generic.IList" error.

My workflow is similar to the one that Ralph provided to another client.

  I recently used a combobox to select a value and used String.Format("{0}", selectedObject) to put the selected value into a string after the form was closed.

  If the selection type is multiple, you can cast the result to a List<Object> and then go through each object in the list doing a String.Format("{0}", objectValue) to get the selected string value.

  Kevin,

  That worked, thanks. Was using a single selection list box, so your suggestion worked perfectly.
