And after that I\'

Declare your store procedure using this syntax:

    USE yourDataBaseNAme
    GO

    CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].yourStoreProcedureName
    @startDate nvarchar(30), 
    @endDate   nvarchar(30)
    AS 
       SELECT Cast(date_rec_slash as datetime) AS 'date_rec_slash', count(code_marz) as total,
              CASE
                  WHEN code_marz = 1 THEN 'a'
                  WHEN code_marz = 2 THEN 'b'
                  WHEN code_marz = 3 THEN 'c'
                  WHEN code_marz = 4 THEN 'd'
                  WHEN code_marz = 5 THEN 'e'
              END AS 'code_marz'
      FROM dbo.tbl_bar 
     WHERE Cast(date_rec_slash as datetime) between @startDate 
                                                AND @endDate
     GROUP BY Cast(date_rec_slash as datetime), code_marz
     ORDER BY Cast(date_rec_slash as datetime) ASC;
    GO

Call this store procedure in EF:

db.Database.SqlQuery<yourObjectNameToCAST>("yourStoreProcedureName");

Call store procedure with parameter in EF:

SqlParameter startDate= new SqlParameter("@startDate", "Value");
SqlParameter endDate= new SqlParameter("@endDate", "Value");
db.Database.SqlQuery<yourObjectNameToCAST>("exec yourStoreProcedureName @startDate, @endDate", startDate, endDate).ToList();

your Object to Cast:

public class yourObjectNameToCAST
{
     public datetime date_rec_slash { get; set; }
     public int total { get; set; }
     public string code_marz { get; set; }
}

You can declare your stored procedures using

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].YourStoredProcedure
    @Start DATETIME, 
    @END   DATETIME
AS

Then you can get rid of the code needed to cast from string

In order to get the results mapped as a c# object, you need to use SqlQuery or FromSql depending on the version of Entity Framework that you are using

Entity Framework 6

var result = dbContext.Bar.SqlQuery("EXEC YourStoredProcedure").ToList();

To pass a parameter, you woild do something like

var result = dbContext.Bar.SqlQuery("EXEC YourStoredProcedure @SomeParameter", 
             new SqlParameter("@SomeParameter", TheParameterValue)).ToList();

And for Entity Framework Core 2

var result = dbContext.Bar
.FromSql("EXEC YourStoredProcedure")
.ToList();

Where Bar is your C# object declared as a property with type DbSet<Bar> in your dbContext class

Based on your output you should create a C# object similar to

public class Bar
{
     public datetime DateRecSlash { get; set; }
     public int CodeMarz { get; set; }
}
