Property Value

Type	Description
String	A String value representing the automatically generated code.

Remarks

We recommend you to check the Code property value in the Page.Init event handler because the control generates the code before the Page_Load event. You get a different captcha code in all event handlers that occur later than the Page.Init event. Refer to the BC4085 - ASPxCaptcha - The Captcha code’s generation logic has been changed Breaking Change description for more information.
