Getting Started with ASPNetSpell

The AspNetSpell component provides international spell checking for your ASP.Net web forms. It can be installed and integrated into most applications in a few minutes.

AspNetSpell behaves very similarly to MS Word's own spellchecker, making this software familiar to users. In addition ASPNetSpell users have access to a library of free international dictionaries.

AspNetSpell is compatible with ASP.Net 2, 3, 3.5 ad 4. The code it delivers is W3C HTML and XHTML compliant, and has a good degree of accessibility.

Quickstart Guide

  1. Download and unzip AspNetSpell to a convenient location on your hard disk. We suggest C:\ASPNetSpell\
  2. Add the ASPNetSpell.dll to your Visual Studio toolbox. (help)
  3. Copy the directory called AspNetSpell to the root folder of your website project. You do not need to add this to the application in Visual Studio. (help)

Using AspNetSpell.SpellButton for the First Time

Drag the SpellButton control from the toolbox onto your ASPX web form in design mode. You will see that it renders as a spell check button.

To select the field(s) that AspNetSpell will spell check, change the FieldsToSpellCheck property.


Using AspNetSpell.SpellTextBox for the First Time

Drag the SpellTextBox into the web form in place of any normal multi-line text box.
