===

I have this code 
        
        Dim conex As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(conxst)
        Dim caixa As Integer = ComboBox1.SelectedItem
        Dim verdat As Date = DateTimePicker1.Text
        Dim verdat1 As Date = "05/07/2012"
        conex.Open()
        Dim ds As New DataSet
        Dim dt As New DataTable
        ds.Tables.Add(dt)
        Dim da As New SqlDataAdapter("select codigo,data,horario from alteraca where data = '" & verdat1 & "' ", conex)
        da.Fill(dt)
