Don't pass dates as strings: send them as DateTime objects. To strip the time off a DateTime is easy:

C#

cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@date", DateTime.Now.Date);

This "resets" the time component to midnight.
Then do the comparison:

SQL

WHERE DeviceLogs.UserId = Employees.EmployeeCode) AND CAST(LogDate AS DATE) = @date

and it should all work.

Hello ,
That will not a better approach as you are passing System.DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd") , the time element is set to midnight .

In sqlserver to compare only datepart you first cast it and then compare it
change your query like this way

CAST(LogDate as DATE)=@date
