Answer 1

You need to iterate over the collection of items. Something like:

textBox1.Text = "";
foreach (object o in listBox1.SelectedItems)
   textBox1.Text += (textBox1.Text == "" ? "" :", ") + o.ToString();

Answer 2

You could do something like:

 string text = "";
foreach(var item in listBox1.SelectedItems) {

     text += item.ToString() + " ";
  }
 textBox1.Text = text;

Answer 3

ListBox.SelectedItems: Returns a collection of the currently selected items.

Loop through the SelectedItems collection of the listbox.

foreach (ListItem liItem in ListBox1.SelectedItems)
{
    // write your code.   
}
