Text Image Component

Just wondering if anyone has ever seen a 3rd party component that
facilitates the creation of text images. I know I can "roll my own" but was
not wanting to reinvent the wheel. I searched www.asp.net and google, but
didn't find anything other than how-to articles.
Thanks!There was some good example code of a simple text/image component in
the book Developing Microsoft ASP.NET Server Controls and Components. I
believe the source code used is freely available at the website.

Actually, that would be in the companion content section.

Text in images

Hi, do anyone knows the best way to save text strings in an image space?
I've to print them with a laser plotter and I need them to be the sharpest
possible.
I'd prefer them to be vectorial but I don't know how (and if it is possible)
to do.
I tried to save the string @dotnet.itags.org.2400 dpi but when I open the images with such a
program like photoshop they are simply little and when I try to enlarge them
to fit the printing they lose definition and the image is non sharp.

This is a part of the code...

Dim pic As New System.Drawing.Bitmap(wi, he, PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb)
Dim g As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(pic)
pic.SetResolution(150,150)
Dim solidBrush As New SolidBrush(Color.Black)
g.Clear(sfondogrigio)
g.TextRenderingHint = System.Drawing.Text.TextRenderingHint.ClearTypeGri dFit
g.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.AntiAlias ' antialias objects

g.DrawString(something, font, color,x,y)

Thnks a lot.
AleAle,

It really depends on the original image size that you're loading. If you're
loading into a large image space the image must by in the proper resolution
to start with to fill this space.

You can resize of course but you will loose definition in that as you're
experiencing. The key is to make sure the oringal images you have or you
create dynamically are sized in the size that you need to start with. GDI+
is pixel based so it doesn't automatically resize and smooth out things

text/image verification question

Anyone know of a software company where I can purchase to integrate into my web site ? This software presents a word in distorted images and user has to type in the corresponding characters for verification that its a real person and not a script.

what you want to search on is CAPTCHA

I used this in the past (http://blogs.clearscreen.com/migs/archive/2004/11/10/575.aspx)

Textarea-control

First, posting images in a newsgroup is poor netiquette. However, I'll put
that down to inexperience with newsgroups.

However, second, you're expecting some ready-made control to be manufactured
somewhere that does whatever that dialog box from an executable does? I
thought -I- was optimistic!

And the executable you are talking about, is an existing website written in
asp.
And since I got replies with links to the control i'm looking for, i guess
you should be more optimistic.
