SharpSpell 3.0 - Features

  • Major API redesign.
    The API in version 3.0 has been completely redesigned and now fully conforms to the .NET Framework Design Guidelines.
  • Spell-As-You-Type Real-Time Spell Checking for Windows.Forms and ASP.NET Web-Sites. (click here for a live demo)
    SharpSpell 3.0 can enable real-time spell checking on any RichTextBox or TextBox control in Windows.Forms.

    Windows.Forms Spell Check As You Type

    SharpSpell 3.0 also includes support for Spell-As-You-Type (real time wavy underline spell checking) in Internet Explorer 6.0, 7.0 and Mozilla Firefox 1.5 and later.

    ASP.NET Spell Check As You Type

  • Simplified implementation.
    No proprietary textbox control. SharpSpell.Web can attach to any TextArea  HTML element (or ASP.NET Multi-line TextBox Control).

    ASP.NET Example Markup

  • AJAX enabled.
    The ASP.NET Spell Check Dialog is now fully AJAX-enabled. No more page refreshes.

    ASP.NET Spell-Check Dialog

  • Improved dictionaries.
    The default English dictionary now contains a hardcoded list of manually edited common misspellings and suitable replacements, for the rare cases where SharpSpell doesn't automatically generate the best suggestions.

    Common Suggestions

  • XHTML support.
    SharpSpell 3.0 works flawlessly in Strict rendering mode and Quirks (Transitional) rendering mode for HTML or XHTML.
  • Supports ASP.NET web-sites and Windows.Forms desktop applications.
    SharpSpell 3.0 includes ASP.NET Server Controls and Windows.Forms Controls within the same assembly.
  • Completely JavaScript driven.
    No need for your visitors to install any client-side software.
  • No code-behind necessary.
    Just drop the SharpSpell control on your .aspx page or your Windows.Forms form, set a couple of properties and compile. It's that simple.
  • Works with both RichTextBox and TextBox in Windows.Forms, and with any TEXTAREA elements (TextBox controls) in ASP.NET.
    SharpSpell 3.0 works on top of regular textbox controls, so you can continue using them as if nothing changed!
  • Automatic fall-back mode in unsupported browsers.
    If SharpSpell detects it is running in an unsupported browser, it will not attempt to enable real time spell checking, leaving the TEXTAREA (ASP.NET TextBox control) intact.
  • Completely customizable spell-check dialog for both ASP.NET and Windows.Forms.
    The source code for both spell check dialogs is provided, and allows developers to completely customize their appearance.
