Hello All:
Does anyone know of a spell checker that works with .NET?
Any options will be welcome.

Do you mean free? I think the ComponentOne tools that MS put in the VB 2003
Resource came with a free SpellChecker component. Not sure if that's still
available... it has been a while since the resource kit came out.
You can also enlist Word to do spellchecking for you.... check this out....
it seems a bit kludgy at first, but it works quite well (for WinForms
anyway):

I don't have any experience of using this in .NET (that's my disclaimer to
say that the following might be complete nonsense), but I have used Word
automation in the past, and the problem I had with this kind of thing is
that it *WILL NOT* work in a multi-threaded environment (such as ASP.NET
pages). The reason I highlight this fact is because it is actually
documented by MS that it is not designed to work in this way, and so should
not be used in this way. I discovered this after a couple of weeks of trial
and error.
It might be different for the spell checker and for .NET so don't just take
my word for it, but it might be worth looking at this before spending too
much time on it.

Juan,
I *did* Google it and got the same responses that you did.
The point of the post was to ask seasoned professionals (and not search
engines) for suggestions. Based on my experience, many people here have used
these types of products and I wanted to avoid having to spend hours milling
through garbage to find one that really works well.
Never fear; I try to always Google before you hear from me.
So, have you sued any of the ones that you sited?

It's good to know that, Joe.
re: So, have you sued any of the ones that you sited?
No, but I have used a couple... ;-)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/netspell/ looks pretty good.
SharpSpell is good...but expensive ($199) : http://www.tachyon-labs.com/sharpspell/
r.a.d.Spell is good and costs the same as SharpSpell:

Juan,
Obviously I needed a spell-checker!
Let that last line read read, "Have you *used* any of the ones that you

My typing is so bad sometimes, I need a usage-checker!
Thanks for the tips; these help. This is for a client. They'll pay for a

http://sourceforge.net/projects/netspell/ looks pretty good.
SharpSpell is good...but expensive ($199) : http://www.tachyon-labs.com/sharpspell/
r.a.d.Spell is good and costs the same as SharpSpell:

from other words which have the same, or a similar metaphone
equivalent.
