I am getting the error the following error using the foreach loop

foreach statement cannot operate on variables of type 'object' because 'object' does not contain a public definition for 'GetEnumerator'

        private OleDbCommand dbCmd;     // Command object
        private OleDbDataReader dbReader;// Data Reader object
        private Member aMember;
        private string sConnection;
        // private TextBox tb1;
        // private TextBox tb2;

        private string sql;

                    // tb1.Text = aMember.X().ToString();


                    //tb2.Text = aMember.Y(aMember.ID).ToString();  

                    this.comboBox1.Items.Add(aMember.FirstName.ToString());

        {

        }


        private void comboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

            this.textBox1.Text = comboBox1.SelectedItem.ToString();

            textBox2.Text = string.Empty;
            foreach (var item in comboBox1.SelectedItem)
                textBox2.Text += item.ToString();
        }


        private void textBox2_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

        }

        private void textBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

        }
    }

You just need to change the foreach loop to:

private void comboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

            this.textBox1.Text = comboBox1.SelectedItem.ToString();

            textBox2.Text = string.Empty;
            foreach (var item in comboBox1.Items)
                textBox2.Text += item.ToString();
        }
