MySQL timestamp to .NET timestamp

I am using DBLinq to access a MySQL DB from C# .NET 3.5

I have created the dbml file for the Visual Studio 2010 ORM, and it loads fine - however when I compile the source I am met with errors regarding the conversion of MySQL timestamp to .NET DateTime.

Now this kind of makes sense, because they are 2 'different' types (Though the MySQL documentation says that they are practically the same).http://d开发者_Go百科ev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/datetime.html

The error thrown by VS 2010 is:

Error 1 DBML1005: Mapping between DbType 'timestamp' and Type 'System.DateTime' in Column 'RowVersion' of Type 'Activity' is not supported. 0 0

Where RowVersion is a timestamp for optimistic concurrency.

How do I get it to work between the 2?

Turns out this is a problem with DBLINQ, problem reported to Mono DBLINQ team.

You can try to use Devart dorConnect for MySQL or Devart LinqConnect while problem is fixing by Mono DBLINQ team. These products should work with Mono Framework
