So, you are saying that if I just use an obeservablecollection of type "object" that it will automatically convert it to the type that the specific datatemplate needs?

Because you are doing a ToString() on the object. You would need to use the objects porperty value.
e.g.

var value=additem.SelectedItem as YourObject; //YourObject is the object type which is the databound for each item
text1.text = value.PropertyInYourObject;

You can do it in XAML itself also, databinding the Text property of text1. See if this works,

Text = ="{Binding ElementName=additem,Path=SelectedItem}"
