I searched type convertion table between PostgreSQL and C#, but I couldn't find anything. I'll research empty cell on above table if I have time. But if you know the web page which has these information, I'm very appropriate to your help.

Postgre Type --->C# Type

bigint --->Int64

bigserial --->

bit [ (n) ] --->Byte[]

bit varying [ (n) ] --->Byte

boolean --->Boolean

box --->

bytea --->Byte[]

character varying [ (n) ] ---> String

character --->String

cidr

circle 

date --->DateTime

double precision --->Double

inet

integer --->Int32

interval [ (p) ] --->TimeSpan

line 

lseg 

macaddr

money

numeric [ (p, s) ] --->Decimal

decimal [ (p, s) ] --->Decimal

path  

point 

polygon 

real --->Single

smallint --->Int16

serial 

text --->String

time [ (p) ] [ without time zone ] --->

time [ (p) ] with time zone --->

timestamp [ (p) ] [ without time zone ] --->

timestamp [ (p) ] with time zone --->

tsquery 

tsvector 

txid_snapshot

uuid --->Guid

xml

Maybe you can find something looking through the documentation of Npgsql, which is an implementation of a .NET Data Provider for PostgreSQL.

This page of the documentation actually contains a complete table of what you are looking for. Search for "4. Current Npgsql Status" - "Supported data types". There is a nice table with all PostgreSQL data types and their correspondents in .NET.
