I tried these codes but it doesn't work

    {
        Clipboard.SetText(textBox2.Text);
    }

for paste ===>

 private void button6_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        textBox4.Text =Clipboard.GetText()+Environment.NewLine;

For pasting the new value without removing the old text, you can do it like below in your button6 click event :

private void button6_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    textBox4.Text += Clipboard.GetText() + Environment.NewLine;
}

Because you're setting the value of the text:

textBox4.Text = ...

If you only want to append the value, use the += operator:

textBox4.Text += ...

Or, more explicitly:

textBox4.Text = textBox4.Text + ...
