Your SELECT statement only requests the word field.
This code if (rdr[0] == (dateTimePicker1)) compares the returned word field value with a DataTimePicker object (not even its value).
You need to review your code.

I would also recommend changing the code that sets the parameter value to use the date part only; assuming that is all your DB contains.

cmd.Parameters.Add("@date", SqlDbType.DateTime).Value = dateTimePicker1.Value.Date; //<-- use DateTime.Date

Or change the SELECT comand to use a range (e.g. selected date +/- 1 day).
