Question

How to override telerik radgridview's default date value (1/1/1900) to empty in xaml

xaml binding is like :

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn  Header="Estimated Start On" DataMemberBinding="{Binding EstdStartDate,Mode=TwoWay,UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged,StringFormat=N2}"   Width="100"  IsFilterable="False" IsGroupable="False">
    <telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
             <DataTemplate>
                 <Label Content="{Binding EstdStartDate}" Height="30"    />
             </DataTemplate>
    </telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
</telerik:GridViewDataColumn>

Take a look on how to implement WPF Value Converters.

VIEW:

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding DateColumn, Converter={StaticResource MyDateConverter}" IsReadOnly="True">

CONVERTER:

public class MyDateConverter:IValueConverter  
{  
    public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)  
    {  
        if (value is DateTime)
        {
            DateTime test = (DateTime) value;
            if (test.Year > 1900) // If year is greater than 1900 then display
            {
                string date = test.ToString("d/M/yyyy"); // Your date format
                return date;
            }
        }

        return string.Empty;
    }  

    public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)  
    {  
        throw new NotImplementedException();  
    }  
}
