SQL Query to pick data from a certain time range

Hi,
I have two fields in my DB.
1) Invoice_Date and Invoice_Time

They recored date and time from my invoices.

I want to pick data under two queries:
1)Using From_Time DateTimePicker and To_Time DateTimePicker (they display as 19:20:18 PM)
Here I want to pick data for say between 13:10:12 PM to 18:10:20 PM, no matter what date it is.

2) Secondly I want data for a specific data range (from datatimepickers) to specific time range (time datatimepickers)

Please advise how to do it.

I tried:

VB

Where InvTime between @Time1 and @Time2

But it did not generate any data, while data is there for the given time range.

Please help.
Thanks

How have you stored the times? What are the columns defined as in your database?

Time has been stored in datatime type column of the DB
it stores it like 09/11/13 12:14:20

Can you post your query here and what you have tried.
in where condintion you can check with date between your fromdateandtime and todateandtime. you can use sql server date time convert method chk this links.

Your first requirement was to select only based on time without regard to the date. The following example casts each DateTime data type as a Time data type so that only the time value is compared. Solution assumes that DateTimePicker returns a time of the format hh:mm:ss tt or HH:mm:ss.

Dim strSQL As String = "Select col1,col2,col3,InvTime from table1 where CAST(InvTime AS Time) between CAST(@Time1 AS Time) AND CAST(@Time2 AS Time);"
Dim obCommand As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand(strSQL, cn)
Dim obParm As New SqlParameter
obParm.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.DateTime
obParm.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input
obParm.ParameterName = "@Time1"
obParm.Value = CDate(From_Time_DateTimePicker.Value)
obCommand.Parameters.Add(obParm)
obParm = New SqlParameter
obParm.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.DateTime
obParm.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input
obParm.ParameterName = "@Time2"
obParm.Value = CDate(To_Time_DateTimePicker.Value)
obCommand.Parameters.Add(obParm)
obParm = Nothing
Try
    rs = obCommand.ExecuteReader
Catch myException As SqlException
    Call ShowSQLException(myException)
End Try

Your second requirement was to use dates from a Date DateTimePicker and times from a Time DateTimePicker. Solution assumes that Date DateTimePicker returns MM/dd/yyyy format and Time DateTimePicker returns a time of the format hh:mm:ss tt or HH:mm:ss.

Dim strSQL As String = "Select col1,col2,col3,InvTime from table1 where InvTime between @DateTime1 AND @DateTime2;"
Dim obCommand As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand(strSQL, cn)
Dim obParm As New SqlParameter
obParm.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.DateTime
obParm.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input
obParm.ParameterName = "@DateTime1"
obParm.Value = CDate(From_Date_DateTimePicker.Value & " " & From_Time_DateTimePicker.Value)
obCommand.Parameters.Add(obParm)
obParm = New SqlParameter
obParm.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.DateTime
obParm.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input
obParm.ParameterName = "@DateTime2"
obParm.Value = CDate(To_Date_DateTimePicker.Value & " " & To_Time_DateTimePicker.Value)
obCommand.Parameters.Add(obParm)
obParm = Nothing
Try
    rs = obCommand.ExecuteReader
Catch myException As SqlException
    Call ShowSQLException(myException)
End Try
