It is quite clear that you are trying to assign a string directly to the TextBox, but you should assign that to TextBox.Text property.

As the error suggests, you cannot convert string to textbox.
Try Text1.text = myString;

i think you are writting like this

string Str = TextBox1;

instead write

string Str = TextBox1.Text;
