Getting DataGrid current item into an object WPF

I am having trouble casting WPF DataGrid's current item to a linq-generated entity since a few days. It would be amazing if someone can help me out of this one.
I am getting data for the DataGrid using linq query as below:



Dim payableexpense As New exprev
Dim listofexpenses As IEnumerable(Of exprev)

Private Sub txtsearchname_TextChanged(sender As Object, e As TextChangedEventArgs) Handles txtsearchname.TextChanged
listofexpenses = From expenses In db.exprevs
Where expenses.school_id = currentschool.school_id AndAlso expenses.title.Contains(txtsearchname.Text.ToString) AndAlso expenses.status <> 1 AndAlso expenses.type = 1

dgvsearchresults.ItemsSource = listofexpenses
dgvsearchresults.Items.Refresh()
stpexpensedetails.DataContext = payableexpense
End Sub


And for the DataGrid selection changed event, I have this code:



Private Sub dgvsearchresults_SelectionChanged(sender As Object, e As SelectionChangedEventArgs) Handles dgvsearchresults.SelectionChanged
payableexpense = dgvsearchresults.CurrentItem
End Sub


But during run-time, it is throwing an exception that:




"unable to cast object of type 'ms.internal.namedobject' to 'exprev'"




At another place in my project, the same approach is working fine.

Use the TryCast method to try to cast the SelectedItem property to an exprev:



Private Sub dgvsearchresults_SelectionChanged(sender As Object, e As SelectionChangedEventArgs) Handles dgvsearchresults.SelectionChanged
Dim selectedItem As exprev = TryCast(dgvsearchresults.SelectedItem, exprev)
If selectedItem IsNot Nothing Then
payableexpense = selectedItem
'...
End If
End Sub
