Question : How do I convert a Powershell object to a string?

Hi All,
Powershell question...If I return an attribute e.g
[PS] C:\>Get-MailContact testuser1 | Select-Object DistinguishedName
How do I then convert the output...

DistinguishedName
-----------------------
cn=testuser1,ou=Contacts,DC=testdom,dc=com

into simply a string of "cn=testuser1,ou=Contacts,DC=testdom,dc=com" ?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Regards
