PgSqlCommand cmd = new PgSqlCommand("refcursorfunc");
cmd.Connection = myConnection;
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
cmd.ParameterCheck = true;
myConnection.Open();
PgSqlTransaction t = myConnection.BeginTransaction();
try {
  cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
PgSqlCursor cursor = cmd.Parameters["p"].PgSqlValue as PgSqlCursor;
  using (PgSqlDataReader rd = cursor.GetDataReader()) {
    while (rd.Read())
      Console.WriteLine(rd.GetValue(0));
  }
}
finally {
  t.Commit();
  myConnection.Close();
}

Visual Basic

Dim cmd As New PgSqlCommand("refcursorfunc")
cmd.Connection = (Me.myConnection)
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
cmd.ParameterCheck = True
Me.myConnection.Open()
Dim t As PgSqlTransaction = Me.myConnection.BeginTransaction
Try
    cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
Dim cursor As PgSqlCursor = TryCast(cmd.Parameters("p").PgSqlValue, PgSqlCursor)
Using rd As PgSqlDataReader = cursor.GetDataReader
        Do While rd.Read
            Console.WriteLine(rd.GetValue(0))
        Loop
