Transformation Exception 'DateTime is not a member of type NpgsqlTypes.NpgsqlDateTime'

See original GitHub issue

Everytime when transforming PostgreSQL…tt I got an exception -see below- saying that DateTime is not a member of type NpgsqlTypes.NpgsqlDateTime. I’m using Postgres 9.6 (Database), npgsql.dll (v3.2.0) and linq2db (v1.7.5). By the way, do I still need to add

<#@ assembly name="$(SolutionDir)packages\linq2db.1.7.5\lib\net45\linq2db.dll"        #>
<#@ assembly name="$(SolutionDir)packages\Npgsql.3.2.0\lib\net451\Npgsql.dll"         #>

to the header of PostgreSQL.tt in order to successfully transform??? Version 1.7.3 is working without any problems.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers.
