Verification code generator?

[nitindel]

On sites like Yahoo, and Hotmail, when registering a new account down the bottom it has an anti-bot verification box with random letters/numbers on a squiggly background so a bot can not get past (well most can't). Anyone know what this is called or how I can implement one into my site in .NET?

Hi there
what you are looking for is generally called the anti-spam verification

there is one control integratable with VS CAPTCHA Server Control for ASP.NET

I havent personally tried it, but it looks promising.

cheers

The whole idea was if you clicked on that link above.... it would lead you to a web page which has that control ready to download.

Controls are not stored in web.config file

The random class will generate a random number. if you want to generate random alphabets or so, you might want to look into modifying the code.

I am not aware of a verification image generator within visual studio (witout any third party controls)
