Display nothing for 1/1/1900 date

[Stephen]

I have a radgrid where I need to display nothing where the data value is 1/1/1900.  It's read only - I don't need a date picker.  Should I use a GridBoundColumn, GridDatetimeColumn, GridTemplateColumn, or other?  How do I trap the values?  I can't change the data source in this case.

I ended up going with a template column and a function.  Is this a smart approach or is there a better way to go?

Column...
<telerik:GridTemplateColumn DataField="Response_Date" CurrentFilterFunction="Contains"
DataType="System.DateTime" HeaderText="Response Date"
SortExpression="Response_Date"
UniqueName="Response_Date"><Itemtemplate>
<%#fixDate(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Response_Date"))%></Itemtemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>)

Function...
Public Function fixDate(ByVal theDate As Object) As Object
If Not TypeOf theDate Is System.DBNull Then
fixDate = theDate.ToShortDateString
Else
fixDate = String.Empty
        End If
If fixDate = "1/1/1900" Then
fixDate = String.Empty
End If
Return fixDate
End Function
