Hi Mikhail,

Thanks for providing this tool.

I installed the VS2005 version, but it doesn't show up under Tool menu. I cannot see it in the Add-in manager either.

My settings: VS2005 Standard Edition, ReSharper 3.0.2, and TestDriven 2.0 installed. VS2008Beta2 installed. Word 2003 installed as well.

Thanks,

Kevin

You sir are awesome. This save me the headache of copying and pasting my text into word for spell checking. Keep up the good work.

You may have to run as admin if you are on Vista. Try running regsvr32 vsspellchecker.dll manually.

I have the same problem as Kevin. Running regsvr32 didn't help either. I am using XP with admin rights. What to do next?

Hi Mikhail,

Thanks for providing this tool, it is very useful especially if the comments in the source are used for generating the documentation.

Is there a way to manually select which language dictionary the checker should use for the current file? We are commenting on different languages in different projects so using the default Office spell checking language is sometimes great but other times another language would be desired. If I am correct the only way to select a language is to start Office and change the default spell checking language?

Thanks again.

I am seeing the any word next to </param> flagged. Is there a way I can use the rules to ignore the xml?

Message 15 Spelling error:

Great tool, but a couple of comments:

1) Is it possible to make it run against all files in a folder/project/solution??

2) It doesn't like databinding and assumes a spelling mistake. E.g. <asp:Label ID="DescriptionLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Description") %>' />. It thinks Eval("Description") is a spelling mistake!

Thanks,

James

James: have a look here: http://blogs.msdn.com/mikhailarkhipov/archive/2006/05/29/running-html-spell-checker-on-all-asp-net-and-html-files-in-the-solution.aspx

Currently spell checker does not tell if attribute value is text or code. I probably need to beef up the parser :-)

Chris: it is a a bug, thanks for reporting it, I'll try to take care of it as soon as I can.

I've installed the Add-In for Visual Studio 2008. As I opened the studio there was no item within the Tools menu called SpellChecker. After I registered the *.dll manually the menu item was available. I opened a few html files and used the Spell Checker which worked very well. But unfortunately after a few files the Spell Checker does not work anymore. After choosing the menu item VS is busy for a few seconds but after that nothing happens. I've already tried to reinstall the Add-In but that didn't work either. Furthermore I've installed the 2005 Add-In which indeed shows the same symptoms. Has anyone experienced similar problems? Is there any solution for that. I've evaluated various Spell Checkers for VS and this one seems to be the best. Therefore I would be glad if anyone could help me.

Thanks,

Stefan
