Forgive me in advance for this long reply. I have this EXACT same problem that I have been trying to solve for 3 days. It's driving me crazy and causing me sleepless nights. Would someone PLEASE help us solve it? Here are some things I have learned: 1. I think this issue is unique to DASP. The reason I say this is because after loading my tweaked version of Jeremy's kit and having this Captcha issue I decided to make sure I didnt cause it. So I unzipped and uploaded Jeremy's kit verbatim to my DASP account with the ONLY change being the SQL connection string pointing to my account and turning off remote errors so I can see what error is being thrown. After doing that I saw the exact same issues with the Captcha warning after you log in and click Manage. Since lots of people are using Jeremy's kit without this problem it leads me to believe that something is occuring on DASPs side. They of course will not even attempt to talk to me about this issue because they "provide development support". 2. I have posted and found other posts related directly to this problem. http://forums.asp.net/p/1187319/2033946.aspx#2033946 http://forums.asp.net/p/1133582/1804024.aspx#1804024 Both of these refer to adding the DLL to the GAC. I tried to read through doing that here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315682 Seems odd you would need to go through all that to get this starter kit working?? 3. I traded emails with Jeremy and his advice was to upload the CaptchaUltimateCustomControl.dll to the bin folder again and upload the web.config file again. Did both, still the same problem. 4. I traded emails with PeterKellner who WROTE the dll lol . Here is what he said: "you have to right mouse on the ?Add References? in the solution explorer of visual studio, then point to the project containing the capcha control. If you made my captcha control into a dll, that is what you would have to do so that the dll shows up in the bin directory of your project (it already shows up in the bin).I really don?t know how it?s packaged with what you are using. You might try posting your problem on the forums." I tried that and there is nothing listed under Projects to point too. Lots of information here but thats what these forums are about right? Exchanging information. I'm hoping someone can help else out here. Thanks!
PROBLEM SOLVED!!! This issue has been stressin me out for over a week. Ok if you get the following error: Parser Error Message: Could not load type 'PeterKellner.Utils.CaptchaTypeHandler'. Source Error: Line 41: </pages> Line 42: <httpHandlers> Line 43: <add type="PeterKellner.Utils.CaptchaTypeHandler" verb="GET" path="CaptchaType.ashx"/> Line 44: </httpHandlers> Line 45: Log in to your DASP Control Panel then open then go to your Web Application tool. Make sure that nothing is selected as a web application. Your root is an application by default and thats all you need. No more errors. Enjoy!
