ASP.NET Controls Tutorial

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 VB.

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

Private Function generateVCode(ByVal CodeLength As Integer) As String
Dim VCode As String = String.Empty
Dim randObj As New Random()
Dim c As Integer = 63
For i As Byte = 1 To CodeLength
c = randObj.Next(35)
If c >= 10 Then
c += 7
End If
c += 48
VCode += Chr(c)
Next
Return VCode
End Function

We migrated our web sites to Server Intellect over one weekend and the setup was so smooth that we were up and running right away. They assisted us with everything we needed to do for all of our applications. With Server Intellect's help, we were able to avoid any headaches!

Then we generate verification code character string as exported image

Private Function generateHatchStyle() As HatchStyle
Dim slist As New ArrayList
For Each style As HatchStyle In System.Enum.GetValues(GetType(HatchStyle))
slist.Add(style)
Next

Dim randObj As New Random()
Dim index As Integer = randObj.Next(slist.Count - 1)

Return CType(slist(index), HatchStyle)
End Function

Use a method GenerateVCodeImage to print image

Private Function GenerateVCodeImage()
Dim oBitmap As Drawing.Bitmap = New Drawing.Bitmap(90, 35)
Dim oGraphic As Drawing.Graphics = Drawing.Graphics.FromImage(oBitmap)
Dim foreColor As System.Drawing.Color
Dim backColor As System.Drawing.Color

Dim sText As String = generateVCode(6)
Dim sFont As String = "Comic Sans MS"

foreColor = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(220, 220, 220)
backColor = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(190, 190, 190)

Dim oBrush As New Drawing.Drawing2D.HatchBrush(CType(generateHatchStyle(), Drawing.Drawing2D.HatchStyle), foreColor, backColor)

Dim oBrushWrite As New Drawing.SolidBrush( Drawing.Color.Red)

oGraphic.FillRectangle(oBrush, 0, 0, 100, 50)
oGraphic.TextRenderingHint = Drawing.Text.TextRenderingHint.AntiAlias

Dim oFont As New Drawing.Font(sFont, 14)
Dim oPoint As New Drawing.PointF(5.0F, 4.0F)

oGraphic.DrawString(sText, oFont, oBrushWrite, oPoint)

Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg"
oBitmap.Save(Response.OutputStream, Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg)
oBitmap.Dispose()

Return sText
End Function
