Description:
The struct 'MySqlDateTime' when using System.Convert throws an 'InvalidCastException'.

Being able to use System.Convert would be exteremly valuable in all type of reflection and binding senarios.

How to repeat:
Object OldValue = Reader.GetMySqlDateTime(6);

NewValue DateTime = System.Convert.ChangeType(NewValue,typeof(DateTime));

Suggested fix:
Please implement IConvertible or compareable fix that works with System.Convert

This is no longer a problem
