data between two dates in asp.net2008

[tracy6001]

hi,
i am trying to fetch three fields from my table according to the two dates which will be given by the user in two text boxes in my form..
i am facing a problem..
my dates in the database is in the text format..
it is in the form of
10/10/2009
11/10/2009
12/10/2009
12/12/2009
now if i give two dates like 10/10/2009 in textbox1 and 12/10/2009 in textbox2 my datagrid shows allthe data including 12/12/2009...means it is not filtering the month...
my asp.net coding is like this
SELECT [Name], [Date], [TotalHrs] FROM [fabotentry] WHERE (([Date] >= ?) AND ([Date] < ?))

my vb.net coding is like this
select Name,Date,Total Hrs from fabotentry where Date between '" & tb1.Text & "' and '" & tb2.Text & "'"

what should i do now???
thanks

The best way to do this is to parse the entry in the TextBox into a DateTime object, then instead of using string concatenation to build raw SQL, use Parameters.

This will also help protect you from SQL Injection attacks.
