private void Get_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

        tb1.Text = listbox1.SelectedItem.ToString();

but it is not working, I'm getting like this but i just need item name to appear on textbox...

System.Windows.Controls.ListBoxItem: item name

Answer 1

Try this:

listbox1.SelectedItem.Content.ToString()

ListBoxes wrap all content in a ListBoxItem , which is what you are seeing. ListBoxItem inherits ContentControl and therefore has a Content property. This contains the object that you want.
