have been going through here and google looking for a spellcheck solution. I see there are LOTS of items, but most of them are a year or more old…so I’m bringing the subject up for a fresh perspective. The project is a vs2010 c# winforms with currently 18 windows and growing. So definately want something easy to implement. We currently have the program being used by clients, so I would want the upgrade from their perspective to be seemless.
We currently don’t require our clients to have MS Word, and we prefer to not require it. So, trying to stay away from this one.
NetSpell was looking like the solution, but once I started looking at the project, it appears to be completely abandoned.
The NHunspell was another possibility, but on their website the latest news was from Oct 2010.
I see that the WPF has the spellchecker class, and while some say it’s ok to integrate with the winforms, others (such as Jon Skeet whom I find very knowledgable) say don’t do it. Has this changed, because most post I see like this are over a year old…
Is there something else out there, free, that most likely won’t be abandoned a week after I start using it?
Thanks,
Dave K.
I’m “answering” this just so that it doesn’t remain an ‘unanswered’ question.
Hans Passant gave the most viable solution to the problem ( Trying to use the C# SpellCheck class ), please one up him there if you find it helpful as well. There is just, as he put it, nagging problem with the Font. It appears blurry next to the winforms fonts, even with changing to his suggested Segoe UI font. other then the bluriness, i haven’t noticed any other problems
