RadTimePicker Design-Time error when clearing Value property

[John]

Is there an example of a binding a RadTimePicker or RadDateTimePicker to a typed dataset where a DateTime value has it's 'Allow Null' set to true and the default value of(<DBNULL>). I have the NullText set to something like "N/A". The binding at runtime, at least in my experience, always gets the control's Value instead of the datasource's Null value and displays the date/time the control was droppped on to the form.

Another problem is that when I try to clear the RadTimePicker.Value property during design-time and I get 'Object reference not set to an instance' and numerous other errors popping up from VS2010. I can no longer enter a date/time to resolve this problem, it's disabled. I understand this is a 'DateTime' object that cannot be null, but the workaround is removing the control and adding a new one, rebinding etc.
