Handling ItemAdding Event in event receiver in sharepoint 2010.

Question

public override void ItemAdding(SPItemEventProperties properties)
base.ItemAdding(properties);
SPItem itemBeingAdded = properties.ListItem;
var startTime = itemBeingAdded["Start Time"]; // does not give any value
// Some code goes here.
I am firing this event while adding an item in a calender list. It is getting fired. No problem. But I am not getting any value from properties.
In the above code startTime gives
me nothing. Actually, I want to access the column field of the item (properties in
my case) is being added.
 Problem is in the ItemAdding method.
ItemUpdating is working fine.
public override void ItemUpdating(SPItemEventProperties properties)
base.ItemUpdating(properties);
SPItem itemBeingAdded = properties.ListItem;
var startTime = itemBeingAdded["Start Time"]; //always gives me value
How can I do it in ItemAdding method.

Use AfterProperties instead.
