Try This

VB

Try
            Dim dat As Date
            Dim conn As New OracleConnection
            Dim cmd As New OracleCommand
            cmd.Connection = conn
            cmd.CommandText = "select End_Date from employee whereID='01'"
            cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text
            conn.Open()
            Dim dr As OracleDataReader = cmd.ExecuteReader()
            While dr.Read
                dat = dr.GetDateTime(0)
                MsgBox("Date is : " & dat.ToShortDateString)
            End While
            dr.Close()
        Catch ex As OracleException
            MsgBox("Database Error")
        Finally
            If conn.State = ConnectionState.Open then
               conn.Close
            End If
        End Try

Happy Coding

Solution 1

use

MessageBox.Show("Date is:" & dat.ToString());

or give some more details regarding your code. eg. what it is showing (null, empty string etc.)
