When button1 is pressed, the following code selects all the text in textBox1, copies it to the clipboard and then pastes it to textBox2:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (textBox1.Text.Length > 0)
    {
        textBox1.Focus();
        textBox1.SelectAll();
        Clipboard.Clear();
        Clipboard.SetText(textBox1.SelectedText);
        textBox2.Text = Clipboard.GetText();
    }
}
