231,248 Pointswhat kind of thing is textDOB? Does it perhaps have a Text property? If so, you may be able to do this:
patient.addPatient(textBox1.Text, textLastName.Text, textID.Text, textIncuranceName.Text, textNumberInsurance.Text, textDOB.Text);
Otherwise, I'd be inclined to try:
patient.addPatient(textBox1.Text, textLastName.Text, textID.Text, textIncuranceName.Text, textNumberInsurance.Text, textDOB.DateTime.ToShortDateString());
and if that didn't work (or you needed more than just a date), try Pablo's suggestion:
patient.addPatient(textBox1.Text, textLastName.Text, textID.Text, textIncuranceName.Text, textNumberInsurance.Text, textDOB.DateTime.ToString());

In the simplest way you can perform the following code to turn a DateTime into a string.
string myString = textDOB.DateTime.ToString();
However, for the correct answer we would need more context in regards to what method addPatient is expecting because there are many ways to format a date as a string. Click on this link for some examples.
