Testing the new validation with Forms... after the Update.

I get an error when trying ot post a comment. What's up?

There was an error with .Text installations because no Viewstate was enabled... you should download the 1.2 version and copy just the dll to the bin folder. And it should be repaired. Please see the update note on the post above and download the control from there.

Take care of the version you install, because 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2 are available to download.... You should install 1.2

I downloaded 1.2 and placed it in the bin folder. All I see now is a broken image link.

Nevermind. I got it! Thanks!

Thanks Miguel! It works great!

Thanks, Miguel!

Great control, it solved my spam problem in a minute.

Just a small hint. In 1.2 there is no README.TXT so I was quite confused how to install it until I downloaded 1.1 that had README.TXT.

Thanks and keep up the good work!

hi..whats the licencing on this componant..can i use it in a commercial app?

Free of use... you can use it anywhere you need for anything you need. Feel free to use it, but just have in mind that it's provided AS IS without any kind of warranty.

Oops. Had an incomplete URL there. Should be a test URL of :

Best,

Robert

I guess it was a permission issue somewhere. I got some font errors as well from the HIP control, and I reset IWAM and IUSR passwords on the server, synced all of it with IIS and it seems to be working. Great stuff! Thanks for making this available to the public.

Best,

Robert

Hi Matt, I haven't had this issue and tested it under xp and 2003. Did you tried to sync pass as Robert did? have you checked the fonts installed on the system?

I think I would make another upgrade with further options allowing also to choose fonts. It's clear that the error cames from the ImageGenerator, so maybe there's a wrong parameter any where, could you please send me a test url of the Image Generator...??

Miguel, first off, nice work! Would it be possible for you to either release source for your control or modify its behavior? Your control automatically redirects to the referring page if an invalid code is entered.

It would be much better if you could simply set an IsValid property to false to indicate failure - this way my code on the page can choose what action to take instead of your code taking preemptive action.

You could avoid introducing a breaking change by adding a new property to your control that indicates the behavior "Classic" or "UserDefined".

Thanks

I'd like to second the point made by John Lam above. It appears if someone mistypes the validation code their entire comment and anything else they've entered goes away. I'd much prefer a cleaner way of handling that. Any thoughts on releasing the source code or making that change? This looks really promising as a great way to reduce comment spam.

I don't really know why but the readme.txt file disappeared from the file I uploaded... It's repaired now, again at it's place.

John and Bill... I don't currently plan to release the source, at least in the short future. But I will include your suggestions in the next release because it's very interesting to include the behavior you said.

This control was originally intended for .Text installations, that's the reason of the automatic redirect. But it has been downloaded thousand of times and lot of people is using it in their own software, so this should be updated to reflect a more "Valid" behavior.

Great control... can't wait to add it to my blog!

Thanks!

Im not sure if this will work, but I'm going to try to implement it anyway... but I want to use your tool with my .Text install.. but when the user successfully enters in a captcha text, then the cookie is set so they don't have to for a few weeks...

Do you think this would even work with your model? I havent examined the code or control yet...

I got it to work with FlexWiki! It was a pain to integrate though due to FlexWiki's non control based architecture!
Mail me if your are interested in the code.

Thanks for a great control!

BTW - The FlexWiki using the control is here:

I got it to work (nice and simple!), but I have 2 questions.

One, I am assuming CodeLength sets how many characters to print. I set it to anything and it still is 6 characters.

The other is, as an admin I have to fill in the box in order to delete a post. How can I turn it off when (!Security.IsAdmin)?

Figured out the problem. The term CodeLength is misspelled CodeLenght.

would love to try the control, however i get errors when i try to download v1.2. Any thoughts? Thanks!

The links to the downloads don't work for me. Going to ASP.NET to download, it routes me back to this blog page. I'm using .Text, so I need version 1.2.

Thanks in advance.

I was able to download 1.2, work through the readme.txt from 1.1, and I think I got everything uploaded to my site properly. However, I am getting a Server Error like this:

Server Error in '/blog' Application.

My guess is that my ISP is restricting this somehow. Any other thoughts/help?

Thanks much.

I guess you should contact your ISP, because everything seems correctly installed and the runtime can found the right assembly file and load its version.

Thanks, Miguel. It looks like the ISP did something because it's now working. I did get the broken image problem that people were reporting above, but that's fixed now, too.

One other tidbit for you:
The httpHandler entry has to appear *before* the .Text entry where they try to get verb="*" and path="*". Maybe that has something to do with the problems others have had, too.

Dan Miser: Thanks for your comment, changing the order of my httphandlers fixed everything for me.

Miguel: Thanks a ton for this code, assuming it works for me it is going to save me probably 30 mins a week at least.

I'm also getting the "Invalid Parameter Used" error:

Server Error in '/' Application.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Invalid parameter used.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

I've tried re-sync'ing the IUSER passwords and that did not help.

What do you mean by this in your reply to Matt above: "have you checked the fonts installed on the system?"

Check what fonts? Are there certain fonts that are required? I can't find any information on checking fonts on this site or in Readme.txt.

Thanks for the awesome code Miguel! Excellent work

I have a problem - on my .Text site, when I add the control, it seems like when the form is submitted and the text doesn't validate, something throws an error (Object reference not set to an instance of an object). Any suggestions? It works fine otherwise.

I also can't delete a comment without entering the right code.

Hi Miguel,

I like the control, but I have run into a problem:

When I try to navigate to my blog's main page from an article view, I get a prompt asking if I would like to download an image. For example, go to the address http://blogs.biasecurities.com/jim/archive/2005/01/12/893.aspx then click the Home link. It'll prompt you to download an image.

I'm guessing that this has to do with the file handler, but I'm not 100% how to fix it. This is on a .Text 0.95 install.

Also, could you add an option to allow the comparison logic to ignore case.

Thanks

Jim

Steve, I've checked your site and the control seems to validate correctly. Can't see where the problem is. About deleting comments when logged as an admin, i'm working on a solution that will be released soon with the new version of the control.

James Geurts, I've seen in your page that it is sending the image as you stated. I guess that the httphandler is in the first position of the list, isn't it? Contact me through mail on the contact page and i'll work with you to detect this error and solve it in future releases as well as solve your particular case.

Nach dem ich in den letzten Wochen jeden Tag zwei Feedback-Eintr

Comment Moderation goes on.

This rocks. Spam is now gone. Thanks !

I am trying to disable the control so it doesn't check on PostBack whether the code is correct. I set the .Enabled property to false and it bombs giving an object reference not set error.

Is there another way to disable the control? The idea behind this is to allow a user to try to log in up to 3 times. Then user is then disabled and only after the user enters the correct code will the site enable the user again for login.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I just finished adding the Clearscreen SharpHIP HIP-CAPTCHA Control to my .Text blog. The CAPTCHA(TM)
test is now required to be passed prior to posting each comment. I know
that this is not fun to fill out and sometimes can be difficult or
impossibl

A quick search in Google… And I found a control I can use to fight back Link Spams.&nbsp; A guy named...

If you use CAPTCHA then you exclude people with visual disabilities from being able to comment on your site. Depending on your jurisdiction, this could get you in big trouble.

I've been using your control for a signup form on a site and it seems to be working fine. But every now and then an error is thrown:

Exception: System.NullReferenceException
Message: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Source: Clearscreen.SharpHIP
at Clearscreen.SharpHIP.HIPControl.ProcessPostBack(HttpContext context)
at Clearscreen.SharpHIP.HIPControl.OnLoad(EventArgs e)

at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive()
at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive()
at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive()
at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain()

I have noticed 2 other people have posted on your site with the same problem but no response has been made. The control has the following setup properties:

Enabled = true
EnableViewState = true
AutoRedirect = false
Codelength = 5
JavaScriptURLDetection = true
TrustAuthenticatedUsers = true
ValidationIgnoreCase = false
ValidationMode = session

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well, that was quick. I found a solution for the comment spam problem. I&rsquo;ve added a control that...

An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request.
