C#

I want to compare to see if sql date > minimum date (1/1/1753) and sql date < current today's date. Can you tell me how to write this comparision?

DateTime minDate = DateTime.ParseExact("1753/01/01, "yyyy/MM/dd", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture,DateTimeStyles.None);
var result = (from p in ctx.SomeTable
where p.MyDate > minDate && p.MyDate < DateTime.Now
select p).ToList();

1. The code you have above will let me compare a C# date to a sql server 2008 r2
date,correct? Is there any kind of a conversion needed?

2.Your code listed above will only compare by dates and will not include the
time correct?
