The only issue is you need textbox object created at class level not local or method specific.

As your ChooseFolder method creates new instance of Textbox, you are not actually saving the value to same textbox.

try below code.

public class yourFormClass :Form
{
TextBox textbox ;
private void btnBrowse_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//LoadControls();
ChooseFolder();
}
public void ChooseFolder()
{
if (folderBrowserDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
//TextBox textbox = new TextBox();
textbox.Text = folderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath;
MessageBox.Show(textbox.Text);
}
}
private void btnAdd_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int count = panel1.Controls.OfType().ToList().Count;
textbox = new TextBox();
count = panel1.Controls.OfType().ToList().Count;
textbox.Location = new Point(3, 25 * count);
textbox.Size = new Size(188, 20);
textbox.Name = "textbox_" + (count + 1);
textbox.TextChanged += new System.EventHandler(this.TextBox_Changed);
panel1.Controls.Add(textbox);
Button button = new Button();
//count = panel1.Controls.OfType
button.Location = new Point(207, 25 * count);
button.Size = new Size(75, 23);
button.Name = "button_" + (count + 1);
button.Text = "Browse " + (count + 1);
button.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.btnBrowse_Click);
panel1.Controls.Add(button);
}
}
