private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) 
{ 
  Button btn=(Button)sender;
  this.textBox1.Text = btn.Text; 
}

Sender object is type of object any time if you want to use any property/attribute of sender object first you need to type cast it with your desire object.

for this problem first you need to change the sender object ot button then you can use the Text property of button.

You can try  some code like this. There are as follows

     Me.TextBox1.Text=  ((XX DataType)sender).Text . 

or  Me.TextBox1.Text=    (sender as XX DataType).Text

  pay  attention plz, The sender's dataType must be a event source.
