title: ASP.Net Linq Databinding not showing data as expected
body: <p>I'm trying to databind some information to a repeater but it seems to be showing me the data but not in the way i'd expect</p>
  
  <p>Here's the data i'm getting</p>
  
  <pre><code>     Value      Xml      HasAttributes    HasElements     IsEmpty    Value
           1        1              False          False       False        1
  12/12/2006        1              False          False       False        1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But the data I want to get is something like this</p>
  
  <pre><code>     ADULTS         DEPARTURE_DATE
            1             12/12/2006
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here's my LINQ and ASP.Net</p>
  
  <pre><code>Dim xel = XElement.Parse(xmlstring)
  
  Dim flights = xel.Descendants("Flights")            
  Dim tests = flights.Where(Function(f) DateTime _
  .Parse(f.Descendants("DEPARTURE_DATE").Value).Date &lt;= DateTime.Now.Date) _
  .OrderBy(Function(f) f.Descendants("DEPARTURE_DATE").Value)_
  .ThenBy(Function(f) f.Descendants("DEPARTURE_TIME").Value)
  
  CType(e.Item.FindControl("Repeater"), Repeater).DataSource = tests  _ 
  .Descendants().Elements()
  CType(e.Item.FindControl("Repeater"), Repeater).DataBind()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here's some sample XML</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;booking&gt;
      &lt;travel&gt;
          &lt;flights&gt;
              &lt;flight id="1"&gt;
                  &lt;adults&gt;1&lt;/adults&gt;
                  &lt;departure_date&gt;12/12/2006&lt;/departure_date&gt;
                  &lt;departure_time&gt;08:05&lt;/departure_time&gt;
              &lt;/flight&gt;
          &lt;/flights&gt;
      &lt;/travel&gt;
  &lt;/booking&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The string <code>xmlstring</code> is the XML above.</p>
  
  <p>Here's my repeater</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;asp:Repeater ID="Repeater" runat="server"&gt;
      &lt;ItemTemplate&gt;
  
          &lt;%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "DEPARTURE_DATE") %&gt;
  
      &lt;/ItemTemplate&gt;
  &lt;/asp:Repeater&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It just keeps saying that there is no field DEPARTURE_DATE in the datasource</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas how this is possible if it is?</p>
