How to make Human Verification Code or Image Verification Code in c#.net

Now, on many sites we can see image verification or human verification codes.

By entering the verification code shown on the web page when a user sign up, the web site or application can prevent automated registrations. This reduces system loads and ensures better performance and security of web site or application. This tutorial will show you how to create the randomly generated verification code in ASP.NET 2.0 and C#.

Now, questions arises how to make these code. Now, time to say thanks to .net who had given a wonderfull library with the name of System.Drawing.

Before stating any thing import System.Drawing.

Copy this code:

Using System.Drawing;

In order to create a random verification code, we create a method called CreateRandomCode at first


public string CreateRandomCode(int codeCount)
{
string allChar = "0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z";
string[] allCharArray = allChar.Split(',');
string randomCode = "";
int temp = -1;

Random rand = new Random();
for (int i = 0; i < codeCount; i++)
{
if (temp != -1)
{
rand = new Random(i * temp * ((int)DateTime.Now.Ticks));
}
int t = rand.Next(36);
if (temp != -1 && temp == t)
{
return CreateRandomCode(codeCount);
}
temp = t;
randomCode += allCharArray[t];
}
return randomCode;
}

Then we generate verification code character string as exported image.


private void CreateImage(string checkCode)
{
System.Drawing.Bitmap image = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(Convert.ToInt32(Math.Ceiling((decimal)(checkCode.Length * 14))), 22);
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(image);

try
{
Random random = new Random();
g.Clear(Color.AliceBlue);


for (int i = 0; i < 25; i++)
{
int x1 = random.Next(image.Width);
int x2 = random.Next(image.Width);
int y1 = random.Next(image.Height);
int y2 = random.Next(image.Height);

g.DrawLine(new Pen(Color.Silver), x1, y1, x2, y2);
}

Font font = new System.Drawing.Font("Tahoma", 12, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Bold);
System.Drawing.Drawing2D.LinearGradientBrush brush = new System.Drawing.Drawing2D.LinearGradientBrush(new Rectangle(0, 0, image.Width, image.Height), Color.Blue, Color.DarkRed, 1.2f, true);
g.DrawString(checkCode, font, new SolidBrush(Color.Red), 2, 2);

for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
{
int x = random.Next(image.Width);
int y = random.Next(image.Height);

image.SetPixel(x, y, Color.FromArgb(random.Next()));
}
g.DrawRectangle(new Pen(Color.Silver), 0, 0, image.Width - 1, image.Height - 1);

System.IO.MemoryStream ms = new System.IO.MemoryStream();
image.Save(ms, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Gif);
Response.ClearContent();
Response.ContentType = "image/Gif";
Response.BinaryWrite(ms.ToArray());
}
finally
{
g.Dispose();
image.Dispose();
}
}

Transfer function on Page_load

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string checkCode = this.CreateRandomCode(6);
Session["CheckCode"] = checkCode;
CreateImage(checkCode);
}

Hello
can you please describe what is image verification code and how it workes

what is use

Hi,

Q. As per your question what is human verification code?

A. Suppose you forget your password of gmail, after 3 attempts it will show a image of some characters, that image is a human verification code.

Q.What is use?
A. As I had already described in this article.

By entering the verification code shown on the web page when a user sign up, the web site or application can prevent automated registrations. This reduces system loads and ensures better performance and security of web site or application. This tutorial will show you how to create the randomly generated verification code in ASP.NET 2.0 and C#.

Is this CAPTCHA ?

Yes you are right is other terms you can call this as CAPTCHA.

How to check this code with validation,can u provide any code example.

rand = new Random(i * temp * ((int)DateTime.Now.Ticks));

this part in your code will cause an overflow. returned value can't be integer.
nice work
