    Securing Web Email pages by changing Pictures with letters

    Hi friends !

    I have seen some internet pages where you can send a request to a firm. If you want to do the request additional to your data, you need to type in some letters which are obviously painted into a picture so it cannot get readout by simple looking into the pages HTML source. text This gives security against auto spammers abuse of such pages IMHO.

    The letters most arn't in one line, have sometimes different sizes and colors are maybe turned to some degree. Could be read by human, but not by automatic code. Great !

    I want to use such a system for a page of my own, so where to get this web-control which paints such pictures. Or could this be easily created by C# code? Whats the name for such controls, so I can google for it ?

    Using Code Tags makes the difference: Code is easier to read, so its easier to help. Do it like this: [CODE] Put Your Code here [/code]
    If anyone felt he has got help, show it in rating the post.
    Also dont forget to set a post which is fully answered to 'resolved'. For more details look to FAQ's about Forum Usage. BTW I'm using Framework 3.5 and you ?
