title: Oracle datetime in VB.net
body: <p>I have a Oracle procedure to which I have to pass a datetime value (2/5/2010 11:46 AM)
  How do I pass this value from VB.net. When I pass the date as shown below it is not returning any records though there are records.</p>
  
  <pre><code>With Cmd
                  .Connection = FactsConn
                  .CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
                  .CommandText = "sp_atas_image_qry"
                  .Parameters.Add(New OracleParameter("vinspectiondatetime", OracleClient.OracleType.DateTime)).Value = "2/5/2010 11:46 AM"
                  .Parameters.Add(New OracleParameter("io_cursor", OracleClient.OracleType.Cursor)).Direction = ParameterDirection.Output
              End With
  </code></pre>
