If I have a query that returns a DateTime, what's the value of FirstOrDefault? Is there a generic way to get the default value of a C# scalar? Example:

var list = (from item in db.Items 
    where item.ID==1234
    select item.StartDate).FirstOrDefault();

Edit: Assume that the column StartDate can't be null.
