date issues..

[Guest]

hi..i have a sql command which i would like to execute in order to calculate the salesman actual sales on a monthly basis such as below so that i would be able to generate a graph based on their actual sales and targeted sales.

select sum(total) as total from Orders where emp_no = 1 and order_date between '07-01-2004' and '07-31-2004'

the problem is, how should i put the above sql statement into the sqlcommand on my web service?i've tried the following way but it couldn't work.can anyone pls help?? thanks.

Dim dtf As String
dtf = "MM'-'dd'-'yyyy hh':'mm':'ss"

Public Function calActual(ByVal empno As Integer, _
ByVal startDate As DateTime, _
ByVal endDate As DateTime) As DataSet


Dim cm As New SqlCommand("SELECT sum(total) As totalsales FROM Orders " & _
"WHERE emp_no = @emp_no AND order_date " & _
"BETWEEN @order_date AND @order_date ", cn)
cm.Parameters.Add("@emp_no", empno)
cm.Parameters.Add("@orderDate", startDate.ToString(dtf))
cm.Parameters.Add("@orderDate", endDate.ToString(dtf))

Don't put the value directly in the SQL - use parameters.
