I need to select the maximum value of EffectiveDate (MM/dd/yyyy).but that EffectiveDate  is taken in string value

 i Want Result would be:

ProcessMode	ProcessDate	ProcessTime	CardNo	EffectiveDate	EffectiveTime	ExpireDate	ExpireTime	HolderName	EffectiveDate1
1	07/10/2013	12:42:58	0749	07/10/2013	12:30			Martin francis 1366

but i tried one code.
var AutoEffectExpireData = " SELECT * FROM (SELECT AutoEffectExpireData.CardNo,Max(AutoEffectExpireData.EffectiveDate) AS EffectiveDate FROM AutoEffectExpireData GROUP BY AutoEffectExpireData.CardNo ) AS CardNo INNER JOIN AutoEffectExpireData t1 ON CardNo.CardNo = t1.CardNo and CardNo.EffectiveDate = t1.EffectiveDate ";

but output is came like this.

ProcessMode ProcessDate ProcessTime CardNo EffectiveDate EffectiveTime ExpireDate ExpireTime HolderName EffectiveDate1
1 12/21/2011 10:04:14 0749 12/21/2011 00:00 Martin Francis 1366

As i understand ur question if u only needs the max effective date then try this,

SQL

SELECT * FROM AutoEffectExpireData AEED  where datetime = (SELECT MAX(AEED.EffectiveDate) FROM topten AutoEffectExpireData
       GROUP BY clos..)Group by AEED.EffectiveDate ORDER BY AEED.EffectiveDate desc

Cols means all those columns which you want to select.
