    <p>I have a SQL Server database that when I open it on screen I want it to just show the records that have been added today.</p> <p>I have the date stored in a field called DateAdded and it is of DateTime2 data type.</p> <p>I tried this</p> <pre><code>string dateAdded = today.ToShortDateString(); string query = "SELECT CustomerID, Title, FirstName, LastName, AppStatus FROM Customer WHERE DateAdded ='" + dateAdded + "'"; </code></pre> <p>This displays no records which I would assume as it has the time attribute stored with the date.</p> <p>I searched online to try and find the answer, but none seemed to be specific for just records added today.</p> <p>I'm also going to need to search on date ranges based on user inputs, and it could be on any range for eg view records from 09/01/2013 to 18/03/2013.</p> <p>What is the best way to go about writing the sql query for this?</p> <p>EDIT - My Answer</p> <p>The answer Carl gave worked, but I didn't understand how to change the values so I could have different date ranges. I though I should post my final result on here, which I based on the answers I received, so it might help someone else. :)</p> <pre><code>using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connectionString)) { int year = date1.Year; int month = date1.Month; int day = date1.Day; string dateAdded = year + "-" + month + "-" + day + " "; int year2 = date2.Year; int month2 = date2.Month; int day2 = date2.Day; string dateAdded2 = year2 + "-" + month2 + "-" + day2 + " "; string query = "SELECT CustomerID, Title, FirstName, LastName, AppStatus, DateAdded FROM Customer WHERE DateAdded &gt;= @date1 AND DateAdded &lt;= @date2"; using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(query, conn)) { cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("date1", dateAdded + "00:00:00"); cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("date2", dateAdded2 + "23:59:59"); SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd); da.Fill(holder); } } </code></pre>

    1. COYou should use a **parametrized query** and use a parameter for the date you want to add; that parameter can be of type `DateTime` and thus handle your data

    2. COPlease, for good practice, use parameters. Or better yet use SQL with a to achieve this. SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(8), GETDATE(), 1) AS [MM/DD/YY] http://www.sql-server-helper.com/tips/date-formats.aspx

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
