Oledb Parameter in Vb.net

Question

I am inserting data from vb.net to oracle but I am unable to insert datetime except date into oracle. I want to insert date and also time of entry into database:

cmd.Parameters.Add(":STARTING_DATE", (OleDb.OleDbType.[Date].))
cmd.Parameters(":STARTING_DATE").Value = DateTime.Now()
cmd.Parameters(":STARTING_DATE").Value = txtStartDate.Text

Answer 1

cmd.Parameters.Add(":STARTING_DATE", (OleDb.OleDbType.[DBTimeStamp].))

apparently.
