To call this function in VB.Net code, you should place the function call in a Stored Procedure and call this Procedure from VB.NET, passing the parameters as follows:

 Dim sqlcmd As New SqlClient.SqlCommand()
 sqlcmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
 sqlcmd.CommandText = "PROCEDURE_NAME"
 sqlcmd.Parameters.Add(New SqlClient.SqlParameter("@startdate", DateTime.Now.Date))
 sqlcmd.Parameters.Add(New SqlClient.SqlParameter("@enddate", DateTime.Now.Date.AddDays(1).AddSeconds(-1)));
 Dim obj As Object = sqlcmd.ExecuteScalar()

If you can't create a Stored Procedure, you can do at the query level:

declare @startdate datetime
declare @enddate datetime

set @startdate = cast(floor(cast(getdate() as float))as datetime) -- truncate the time part
set @enddate = dateadd(S, -1, dateadd(d, 1, @startdate)) -- add 1 day, subtract 1 minute from today
