Over the past year+, I've noted an increase in form spam through the various web sites that I've authored and continue to manage. As a result, I've had to go back and add CAPTCHA controls to the forms in some cases.
I'm working on a new .NET project called ArtOverture and needed to dig into a .NET based CAPTCHA control. Looking around at the source code for dasBlog, I learned about Jeff Atkins CaptchaControl. It's written in VB.NET for Visual Studio 2003 and ASP.NET 1.1. However, I found that you can include the compiled DLL just fine as a toolbox control in Visual Studio 2005. The control works perfectly without any need for recompiling.
Here's the link to Jeff's Code Project writeup on CaptchaControl. Full source code is available.
