Currently, datetimes are being returned as a MySqlDateTime to allow for
dates like 0000-00-00. To return it as a .Net date/time, you need to convert
using one of the following:
Dataposto.Value = CDate(myrd.Item("postodata").ToString())
Dataposto.Value = Ctype(myrd.Item("postodata"),
Mysql.Data.Types.MySqlDateTime).GetDateTime
Or, for loose binding:
Dataposto.Value = myrd.Item("postodata").GetDateTime
Reggie has asked for comments regarding this behaviour on here, so it may be
subject to change. AT the moment, I believe the safest method is to use
.ToString with a Cdate conversion.

DecimalHi,
In old bytefx i used this sintax
dataposto.Value = myrd.Item("postodata")
Using the new driver, in verstion 1.0.2 i get an exeption as shown below:
Cast from type 'MySqlDateTime' to type 'Date' is not valid.
How to use the new value?
