Oracleparameter changes date format on windows 2003 server

Question

Hi, i am using a stored procedure that contains a datetime-field. The date i am sending is formatted as "2007-05-30", but when it comes to the oracle-server, the date has been reformatted to "30-MAY-07".
I am using ODP.NET within the VS.2005. In web.config i have set the uiculture and culture to sv-SE, the settings on the webserver to Swedish without any positive results.
So, when i send away a date within the ODP commandparameter it rearrange the date from the component to the server. Any ideas to solve this problem? I have searched the net without any luck. Hopefully someone can help me in the right direction?
I was looking at setting NLS_LANG = SWEDISH with a first call to the database, but i have not tried that yet. Also, the code works fine on my local computer - so the translation of date is just on the windows 2003 server.
string ConnStr = "SERVER=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=XX)(PORT=1526))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=AAAA)));uid=A;pwd=B;";
string returnData = "";
OracleConnection myConnection = new OracleConnection(ConnStr);
string selecteddate = "2007-05-20";
string newspaper = "EX";
try
myConnection.Open();
OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand("ROUTEXUSER.PKGROUTEX.F_SUB_ROUTEX_JOB", myConnection);
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
OracleParameter prm1 = new OracleParameter("vd_datum_in", OracleType.DateTime);
prm1.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input;
prm1.Value = selecteddate.ToString();
cmd.Parameters.Add(prm1);
OracleParameter prm2 = new OracleParameter("vs_tidning_id_in", OracleType.VarChar);
prm2.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input;
prm2.Value = newspaper;
cmd.Parameters.Add(prm2);
OracleParameter prm3 = new OracleParameter("vn_seqnr_out", OracleType.Number);
prm3.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
cmd.Parameters.Add(prm3);
// add record
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
// returnvalue
returnData = cmd.Parameters["vn_seqnr_out"].Value.ToString();
catch (Exception ex)
throw new System.SystemException("Error: " + "-" + ex.Message);
// stänger och avslutar connections
myConnection.Close();
