title: Repeater itemdatabound event value type and reference type
body: <p>Im trying to bind a list with datetime objects to my repeater.    </p>
  
  <p>if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem || e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item)
              {
                  DateTime actualDate = e.Item.DataItem as DateTime; 
              }</p>
  
  <p>When I want access the itemdatabound event on the repeater 
  Then I get an errormessage which says that DateTime is a valuetype and not a reference type.
  My solution is that a wrap the datetime in a custom object (reference type) and pass that to the repeater datasource instead of the datetime. But Im wondering if there are other solutions where the repeater takes valuetypes (DateTime objects)........</p>
