PIN Number Reversal

I got this information from Anuradha (friend of mind) wanted to share with you all as its knid of important, but don't no how true it is.

THIS WAS SENT TO ME BY A HEAD OF A LEADING BANK IN SL.

PIN NUMBER  REVERSAL (GOOD TO KNOW)

If you should ever be forced by a robber to withdraw money from an ATM Machine, you can notify the police by entering your Pin # in reverse.

For example if your pin number is 1234 then you would  put in 4321. The ATM recognizes that your pin number is backwards from the ATM  card you
placed in the machine. The machine will still give you the money you requested,  but unknown to the robber, the police will be immediately dispatched to help you.

This  information was recently broadcasted on TV and it states that it is seldom used because people don't know it exists.

Have you faced these issues in ASP .Net 2.0

Last few years i had to stick to a one  big product in my company, Its a Business Intelligence tool called Cerebiz,  this is  currently running on Sri lanka, Pakistan and Australia.

So after the initial development and implementation, I have been adding new features and modifications to this BI tool, anyway I was asked to hold this product by the management for sometimes and had to work on a new  system as it is kind of urgent (web base Parking slot management system).

This is my first asp 2.0 assignment,  u know its always nice to get in touch with new stuff and fresh system.

So this what I came across -

• You can not simply address a control in java script. I spend hours on this to find out. (I am using Master page) 
  document.getElementById('TextBoxEmpName').value
  
  you have to replace the above code line with..
  
  document.getElementById('<%=TextBoxEmpName.ClientID %>').value
  
  Thanks to MVP Rick I found that from his blog.
  
• If you use GridView and  you have a  " Date " field column that you want to format it using  DataFormatString="{0:d}" , this won't happen unless you change the property HtmlEncode="false".
  
• Actually this is not an issue, this is what my friend Sanjaya has found, for 24 hour display time column field you have to use formating string as DataFormatString="{0:HH:mm}".
