spell checking

[Dean Slindee]

Anybody got any helpful suggestions on how to implement spell checking in a
textbox. Perhaps solutions using Microsoft Word spell checker as a called
routine? What has worked for you?

Thanks,

Yes, I would use the spell checking in MS Office, by implementing an
instance of Word (without showing the GUI) and passing the text to the spell
check routine, then quitting Word.

There are lots of products that do exactly that. Check the following
- www.Keyoti.com
- www.Karamasoft.com
- www.devexpress.com
- www.aspspellcheck.com

There are also a couple of free options. Try this one:

www.aspell-net.sourceforge.net

I would only automate word as a last resort for a couple of reasons:
1) If it is for a Windows Application, you cannot assume everyone has
word installed
2) Even if they do, they will all be different versions. Word
Automation across office versions is a nightmare
3) For ASP.NET applications having several users hitting the same page
simultaneously will drag your server to its knees
4) Licensing issues might come into play
5) Automating office is strongly discouraged my Microsoft because it
was not designed with such usage in mind

I remember reading somewhere that the RichTextBox in WPF has spell
check built in. I could be mistaken, but it's something you might look
into.
