Does the framework provide a static field for the 1/1/1800 datetime?  I do not allow nulls in any of my SQL tables, so I think of the 1/1/1800 date as the empty date.  It always displays as being empty and that is good, but sometimes I need to test the underlying datetime value to see if it is 1/1/1800.  A publicly available static datetime of 1/1/1800 would be very useful and I would expect the framework  to provide one, but I cannot find it.  Of course I can always create one myself if needed.
