1. CAPTCHA INTEGRATION INSTRUCTIONS

To show a Captcha challenge on the form and check user input during form submission:

ASP.NET MVC

In View code: import the BotDetect namespace, include BotDetect styles in page , create a MvcCaptcha object and pass it to the Captcha HtmlHelper:

    @using BotDetect.Web.Mvc;

      [...]

      <link href="@BotDetect.Web.CaptchaUrls.Absolute.LayoutStyleSheetUrl" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    </head>

      [...]

    @{ MvcCaptcha exampleCaptcha = new MvcCaptcha("ExampleCaptcha"); }
    @Html.Captcha(exampleCaptcha)
    @Html.TextBox("CaptchaCode")

Exclude BotDetect paths from ASP.NET MVC Routing:

public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
    routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");

    // BotDetect requests must not be routed
    routes.IgnoreRoute("{*botdetect}",  new { botdetect = @"(.*)BotDetectCaptcha\.ashx" });

Mark the protected Controller action with the CaptchaValidation attribute to include Captcha validation in ModelState.IsValid checks:

using BotDetect.Web.Mvc;

[HttpPost]
[AllowAnonymous]
[CaptchaValidation("CaptchaCode", "ExampleCaptcha", "Incorrect CAPTCHA code!")]
public ActionResult ExampleAction(ExampleModel model)
{
    if (!ModelState.IsValid)
    {
        // TODO: Captcha validation failed, show error message
    }
    else
    {
        // TODO: Captcha validation passed, proceed with protected action
    }

ASP.NET Web Pages

On the ASP.NET form you want to protect against bots, add:

@{ Captcha exampleCaptcha = new Captcha("ExampleCaptcha"); exampleCaptcha.UserInputID = "CaptchaCode"; } When the form is submitted, the Captcha validation result must be checked:

@if ((Request.HttpMethod == "POST")) { bool isHuman = exampleCaptcha.Validate(); if (isHuman) { Correct! } else { Incorrect! } } Detailed ASP.NET Web Pages integration instructions can be found at http://captcha.com/doc/aspnet/howto/asp.net-webpages-captcha.html.

ASP.NET WebForms

On the ASP.NET form you want to protect against bots, add:

<BotDetect:WebFormsCaptcha ID="ExampleCaptcha" runat="server" />
<asp:TextBox ID="CaptchaCodeTextBox" runat="server" />

When the form is submitted, the Captcha validation result must be checked:

if (IsPostBack)
{
    // validate the Captcha to check we're not dealing with a bot
    bool isHuman = ExampleCaptcha.Validate(CaptchaCodeTextBox.Text);

    CaptchaCodeTextBox.Text = null; // clear previous user input

    if (!isHuman)
    {
        // TODO: Captcha validation failed, show error message
    }
    else
    {
        // TODO: Captcha validation passed, proceed with protected action
    }
}
