I have a conversion problem with this code:

Convert.ToString(result)
hourA.Text = result;

The result word is a DateTime and I would like to convert it in text to put it in a TextBox

For me, this code looks like good but I still have the following error:

CS0029 C# Cannot implicitly convert type to 'string'

What could I change to make it work?

you can use

hourA.Text = result.ToString("d");

to get short date time string representation, if your result hold value like 10/24/2019 10:54:40 AM the short text representation would be 10/24/2019,

there are too many string representation for datetime, all are listed in: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/base-types/custom-date-and-time-format-strings

Convert datetime to string 

DateTime date= DateTime.Now;
string result = date.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm:ss tt");

append result string to textbox 

hourA.Text = result ;

The result string is not appended to the Text property, it overwrites the value.
