Converting datetime from character string

Hi there,

I have the following code:

Dim CityTown As String = Ctype(Request.Querystring("CityTown"), String)
 Dim Suburb As String = Ctype(Request.Querystring("Suburb"), String)
 Dim SuburbValue As String = Ctype(Request.Querystring("Suburb"), String)
 Dim Rooms As String = Ctype(Request.Querystring("Rooms"), String)
 Dim Rent As String = Ctype(Request.Querystring("Rent"), String)
Dim DateToday = DateTime.Now
Dim mySQL AS String
If suburbValue = "- All -" Then
mySQL = "SELECT propListID, propListExpires, propBuildType, propRoomNumber, propRentPerWeek, propDescription, propCityTown, propSuburb FROM tblPropertyList WHERE [propCityTown]='" & CityTown & "' AND [propRentPerWeek]<= '" & Rent & "' AND [propRoomNumber]='" & Rooms & "'AND [propListExpires] >='" & DateToday & "' "

However I am having trouble getting the Date to work as part of my SQL String. I keep getting the following error:

Syntax error converting datetime from character string.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Source File: K:\details\detailspropertylisting.aspx Line: 32

Any ideas how to resolve this?? I do not want to use Parameters in my statement.

Thanks in advance,

TCMYou can modify the query as :

mySQL = "SELECT propListID, propListExpires, propBuildType, propRoomNumber, propRentPerWeek, propDescription, propCityTown, propSuburb FROM tblPropertyList WHERE [propCityTown]='" & CityTown & "' AND [propRentPerWeek]<= '" & Rent & "' AND [propRoomNumber]='" & Rooms & "'AND [propListExpires] >=getDate()"

Hope this helps.|||and use parameterized queries too.

hth|||Thanks so much for the response.

Worked perfectly.
