I had the same problem. My specific requirements were to convert it to double. But the standard ADO.NET numeric should also work. Here is how I've done it in managed C++. This code is trying to be provider independent, hence using dynamic invocation:
System::Object* pObjValue = pTypeCmd->InvokeMember( "GetOracleDecimal",
                    static_cast<BindingFlags>(
                    BindingFlags::Instance
                    | BindingFlags::Public
                    | BindingFlags::InvokeMethod ),
                    NULL,
                    pDataRec,
                    objParams );
DebugAssert( NULL != pObjValue, "NULL != pObjValue" );
System::Double dValue;
if (NULL != pObjValue)
     System::String* pStrVal = pObjValue->ToString();
     if (NULL != pStrVal)
          dValue = Convert::ToDouble( pStrVal );
