Simple Captcha with ASP.Net

I was trying to find a solution to block spammers adding data to our database using C#. This is the quick solution I found. 

  1. First create an image tag in the webform that has the submit form.
    <IMG height="30" alt="" src="Turing.aspx" width="80">
    As you see the  source for the picture will be a file called "Turing.aspx".

  2. Later create the webform "Turing.aspx" with the code below :

    public class Turing1 : System.Web.UI.Page
    {
    private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
    {
    Bitmap objBMP =
    new System.Drawing.Bitmap(60,20);
    Graphics objGraphics = System.Drawing.Graphics.FromImage(objBMP);
    objGraphics.Clear(Color.Green);
    objGraphics.TextRenderingHint = TextRenderingHint.AntiAlias;
    //' Configure font to use for text
    Font objFont = new Font("Arial", 8, FontStyle.Bold);
    string randomStr="";
    int[] myIntArray = new int[5] ;
    int x;
    //That is to create the random # and add it to our string
    Random autoRand = new Random();
    for (x=0;x<5;x++)
    {
    myIntArray[x] = System.Convert.ToInt32 (autoRand.Next(0,9));
    randomStr+= (myIntArray[x].ToString ());
    }
    //This is to add the string to session cookie, to be compared later
    Session.Add("randomStr",randomStr);
    //' Write out the text
    objGraphics.DrawString(randomStr, objFont, Brushes.White, 3, 3);
    //' Set the content type and return the image
    Response.ContentType = "image/GIF";
    objBMP.Save(Response.OutputStream, ImageFormat.Gif);
    objFont.Dispose();
    objGraphics.Dispose();
    objBMP.Dispose();
    }
    }


  3. And this is the code for the submit button on the main form

    private void btnSubmit_ServerClick(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
    {
    if (Page.IsValid && (txtTuring.Value.ToString () ==Session["randomStr"].ToString ()))
    {
    // The Code to insert data
    }
    else
    {
    Label1.Text ="Please enter info correctly";
    }
    }
