var top10 = highScores.Take(10);
int count = top10.Count();

Well...it's a little obvious.
What does this code do:

C#

int value = 0;
for (int i = 1; i < 10; i++)
   {
   value = i;
   }
Console.WriteLine(index);

Answer: it prints "9".
Why? Because an integer can contain only one value, so when you say:

C#

value = i;

you discard the previous version.
Now, your code does the same:

C#

foreach (var myscore in top10) {
    string myresult = myscore.Score.ToString();
    secondscore.Text = myresult;
}

Both MyResult and secondscore.Text are strings, so when you assign them a new value, you discard every previous one.

Exactly what you want to do, I'm not sure, but just changing it to:

C#

foreach (var myscore in top10) {
    string myresult = myscore.Score.ToString();
    secondscore.Text += myresult;
}

will show you what I mean.
