    You must use a data table edit method to get the correct time. Use SQL to get the datatable, then do something like

    datatable.Columns.Add("TimeName")
datatable.Columns("TimeName").ReadOnly = False
datatable.Columns("TimeName").MaxLength = -1

For each dr as DataRow in datatable.rows
dr.BeginEdit
dr("TimeName") = TimeDimHelper.GetNameFromId(dr("TimeId")
dr.EndEdit
Next
