The casting should not cause a problem only when you operate.on it in your 
function as DateTime you may have problems. Failing that you could always do 
a check for null first and pass onto function if it isn't or return a blank 
string.

If the casting a NULL is a problem then
 <asp:Label runat="server"
   Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container,"DataItem.ExpireDate") != null
                    ?  MyFunction( (DateTime) 
DataBinder.Eval(Container,"DataItem.ExpireDate"))
                    :   ""
               %>'
   ID="Label1"></asp:Label>


> DataBinder.Eval(Container,"DataItem.ExpireDate")) %>'


Text='<%# MyFunction( (DateTime) 
DataBinder.Eval(Container,"DataItem.ExpireDate")) %>'
