I’ve implemented CAPTCHA for a form submission page in my app as per code I got from Pro ASP.NET MVC Framework book.
He has a Tip in there that says “if you want to turn this into a reusable, distributable CAPTCHA component… all you have to do is to put the CaptchaHelper and CaptchaImageController classes into a stand-alone assembly.”
What does this mean?
I was thinking that I’d just create a new MVC project, have this single controller in the controller folder, and the helper file in the Helper folder. It compiles just fine.
I then include that project into my solution and have added references to this project in both of my other sub-projects (one for business layer, other for ui).
But when I try to render the page, the view cannot render the captcha image. (btw, it worked just fine before I broke it out into a separate project.)
The view page can’t seem to find the CAPTCHA controller.
I guess I need help in creating a stand-alone controller…
Thanks,
Scott

Create a standard Class Library project with the two files. Add the needed references(MVC…) to make it compile. Add the compiled dll as a reference to your main web application.
