Answer 1

Simple Your function expects string parameter you passing datatime as parameter,
Solution 1:
Change this statements
System.DateTime StartDate; StartDate= DateTime.Parse(txtStartDate.Text);
System.DateTime EndDate = DateTime.Parse(txtEndDate.Text);
to
string StartDate= txtStartDate.Text;
string EndDate = txtEndDate.Text;
Solution 2:
or while passing argument convert datetime object to string object
StartDate.ToString()
EndDate.ToString()
That simple,

Answer 2

intResult = pBAL.Insert(Name,Description, Topic,Sponsor, Location,StartDate.ToString(),EndDate.ToString(),URL);
