Description:
Well, asuming that the time type columns accept a value of range '-838:59:59' to '838:59:59' when using the bytefx .net driver for mysql with vb.net (or other language) the driver just overflows when retrieving the value of the time column, at this time i have the value '98:28:00' in that time column, i think that when he has a value smaller than '24:00:00' it doesn't throw any error, not sure about that but not important, it should not overflow with the value '98:28:00'.

Below i'll past the output from the vb IDE.

MySql error: TimeSpan overflowed because the duration is too long.
An unhandled exception of type 'System.OverflowException' occurred in bytefx.mysqlclient.dll

Additional information: TimeSpan overflowed because the duration is too long.

The IDE also points the error to the myrd.read (dim myrd as mysqldatareader) command, it may help you find the bug.

Thanks,

Jorge Bastos
