Are you trying to add together numbers from those textBoxes? Or are you
trying to concatenate the strings?

maybe:
textBox3->Text = String::Concat(textBox1->Text, textBox2->Text);

or maybe something like:
textBox3->Text = (Double::Parse(textBox1->Text) +
Double::Parse(textBox2->Text)).ToString();

In C++/CLI (coming in VS 2005), your line will concatenate the strings.

one step at a time.
