How to create captcha image in asp.net C#
The word CAPTCHA (stand for "Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart") is one mechanism that used in a web application to determined if a visitor that accesses the web application is a human or bot. This is because the captcha contains some words as Images that required users to enter the same word in the web application form to complete the process. The captcha also used to prevent bots from automatically access the web page and do some SPAM thing on the web page.
Today I will show a tutorial to create a Captcha image in the asp.net application :

Today I will show a tutorial to create a Captcha image in the asp.net application :
Checklist :
- Create one dummy aspx page name "CaptchaImage.aspx".
- Create Captcha class name "CaptchaClass.cs".
- Create Page dummy to create a captcha image name "Captcha.aspx".
