I have always used the API for Vb.net from Decaptcher.com and have always sent the Captcha by sending an actual url to them as you see in the code below. Or maybe it uploaded the image anyway to them (I use the Webbrowser Control) I'll use for example this:

Code:

Dim dr As DecaptcherResult = DecaptAPI.GetCaptchaSolved(Me.WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("captcha_image").GetAttribute("src"))

But with the current project that I am working on right now I am having to take a screen shot of the captcha image, then save it to my harddrive.

I know that through your API Decaptcher allows us to upload the image from our harddrive but I just can't figure out how to use the code to do this. I have tried this but it doesn't work:

Code:

Dim dr As DecaptcherResult = DecaptAPI.GetCaptchaSolved("c:\1\Untitled.jpg")

Can anyone please tell me the proper code to send the image and get the response.

Thank you so much

BELOW THIS IS THE CLASS AS WELL WITH THIS.
THANK YOU SO SO MUCH TO WHO EVER WILL HELP ME WITH THIS, IT MEANS SO MUCH TO ME.
