How to get NTEXT data via SP to vb.net app?

i have a table with ntext field and i need to get some fields including the
ntext value to a vb.net application (vs2003)
i have this routine in vb:
Public Function GetMsgs2Email() As DataTable
Dim da As New SqlDataAdapter
Dim result As New DataTable
Try
cmdSelect.CommandText = "SP_name_here"
cmdSelect.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
da.SelectCommand = cmdSelect
da.Fill(result)
Return result
Catch ex As SqlException
EDTUtils.LogFiles.Log(ex)
Catch ex As Exception
EDTUtils.LogFiles.Log(ex)
End Try
Return Nothing
End Function
How to write the SP that will return as a result set the ntext value with
other fields?
any other techniques will do as well
thanks in advance
