How to print all items from ListBox to a TextBox?

I want to display all elements from a ListBox to a TextBox. I'm not sure how to do this, I have tried doing foreach statement but it doesn't work for the reason that ListBox doesn't contain IEnumerator.

How to do this?

foreach (ListItem liItem in listBox1.Items)
     textBox1.Text += liItem.Value + " "; // or .Text

EDIT:

Since you're using WinForms, ListBox.Items returns an ObjectCollection

foreach (object liItem in listBox1.Items)
     textBox1.Text += liItem.ToString() + " "; // or .Text

The Items collection of Winforms Listbox returns a Collection type of Object so you can use ToString() on each item to print its text value as below:

string text = "";
foreach(var item in yourListBox.Items) 
{
    text += item.ToString() + "/n"; // /n to print each item on new line or you omit /n to print text on same line
}
yourTextBox.Text = text;

Try running your foreach on Listbox.Items..that has an enumerator that you can use
