Also a ComboBox has a SelectionStart and a SelectionLength property. Hence you can work with Text.Substring and get the parts of the text you need.

textbox2.Text = textbox1.Text.Substring(textbox1.SelectionStart, textbox1.SelectionLength);

I am in trying. But this code is not working. Please any solution in this problem.

C'mon - your code does exactly the opposite: it gets the selected text. Actually I'd expected also a beginner to test e.g.
textbox1.Text.Substring(0, textbox1.SelectionStart) and textbox1.Text.Substring(textbox1.SelectionStart + textbox1.SelectionLength);
or combinations thereof...
