You need to bind data in code behind like below:

using (MicroGOVEntities entities = DataEntitiesFactory.GetInstance())
{
    var getGovernments = from g in entities.S_Government 
                         orderby g.DateCreated descending 
                         select g;
    rpData.DataSource = getGovernments.ToList();
}
rpData.DataBind();

And the ASP.NET code is:

<asp:Repeater ID="rpData" runat="server"
              ItemType="MicroGOV.Entity.S_Government" 
              OnItemCommand="rpData_ItemCommand">
    <ItemTemplate>
        <td><%#:Item.GovernmentID %></td>
    </ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
