Error using C#

[scottydd]

I'm new to C#, and this will probably be a simple question. I am trying to do a simple IF statement, based on a DDL selection.

if ( ddl_type.SelectedItem.Text = "COMMERCIAL" ) {
Response.Write(BinNo);
}

When i do this I get the following error:
CS0029: Cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to 'bool'

Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Scott

ddl_type.SelectedItem.Text == "COMMERCIAL"

should be == not =

easy mistake, this too will work
ddl_type.SelectedItem.Text.Equals("COMMERCIAL")
