4.6 Implementing Spell Checking in Your Windows and Web Apps with NetSpell
Like it or not, good spelling is a crucial part of written communication. Spelling mistakes reflect poorly on the writer and can create barriers just by making a negative impression on the reader. Why not ease your users’ spelling worries by wiring a simple, powerful spellchecking utility into your applications?
NetSpell, written by Paul Welter of LoreSoft, is a lightweight spellchecking library that can be added quickly to your .NET applications. It comes with dictionaries for several different languages and built-in controls for Windows Forms and web apps. NetSpell was written on the 1.1 Framework but wraps nicely into 2.0 applications.
