Hi,

You haven't assign any value to DateFrom in "cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("dateFrom", DateFrom);"

You should convert DateFrom to DateTime using Convert.ToDateTime(DateFrom);

you have to pass date object to the parameter...

Solution 1

change little bit in variable which is parameter. You should add like @dateFrom

C#

string DateFrom, DateTo

cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@dateFrom", DateFrom);
SqlDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();

while (dr.Read())
{
DateFrom= dr["DateFrom"].ToString();
DateTo= dr["DateTo"].ToString();
