Hi Mr.Cantus - I use the standard .NET MD5 class, to be found in the System.Security.Cryptography namespace.

Great control. I added a bool property UseSSL the defaults to false. Just after the declaration of string imgUrl, I added:

// if we use the secure URL for SSL:
if (UseSSL)
{
imageUrl = “https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar.php?”;
}

Now I can use it on secure (https) sites without the IE security warning.

I just tried your control on my ASP.NET MVC application is it works flawlessly! Great job! When I’m done with the site you’ll be added to the contributors. (By the way, it’s not being used on MVC Starter Kits) Thanks.

@Ezequiel – Sorry to hear that you’re having problems with the control.

I tried putting the control in a formview, and couldn’t reproduce the error you mention.

Just to let you know, I created an object data source, which exposed several email addresses. This object data source was the data source for the form view control, and this form view control had a Gravatar control in it. I was able to page through the records without an issue.

Would you mind going into a little more detail?
