If you mean other dates as values just do :

C#

DateTime dt = DateTime.Parse("2017-10-22"); // parse from a string
DateTime dt = datepicker.Value; // form a date picker

string date = dt.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd"); // same as before

But generally you should use SqlParameter instead of string concatenation and pass the date value : Lesson 06: Adding Parameters to Commands – C# Station[^]

First you generate a DateTime object and provide the date in the constructor. Then you call the ToString on this object.

// Construct a DateTime object for a specified date
DateTime specificDate = new DateTime(2017, 4, 1);   // April fool's day 2017
string Date = specificDate.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd");

This provides "2017-04-01" in the Date variable.
