title: Problems Retrieving the Oracle TimeStamp Field in .Net
body: <p>I need to begin working with milliseconds in .Net 3.0.  The data will be returned from an Oracle Database and if I understand correctly Oracle can only store dates that use milliseconds as a TimeStamp.  It does appears that the Date type in .Net can handle milliseconds  but when I have tried to retrieve Timestamps from Oracle stored procedures in the past I ran into a nasty error.  Can .Net handle the Oracle timestamp data type or do I need to bring it back as a VarChar and cast it to a date type?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
