Hi webtubbs,

I did not understand how to use the net spell.

 

by: webtubbsPosted on 2009-07-04 at 00:12:59ID: 24776146

Download the source files. There is a VB.Net demo.

 

by: kor786Posted on 2009-07-04 at 00:18:30ID: 24776154

I have already downloaded them but they are in cs and i can't get it to check the spelling.

 

by: webtubbsPosted on 2009-07-04 at 00:21:40ID: 24776159

In the "demo" folder, there is a VB.Net project.

 

by: kor786Posted on 2009-07-04 at 00:50:14ID: 24776217

Yes but now i can i add the same to my project?

 

by: webtubbsPosted on 2009-07-04 at 00:56:12ID: 24776231

The same way the demo does!

 

by: kor786Posted on 2009-07-04 at 00:59:14ID: 24776240

The demo has many refrerences which i don't know how to put.

 

by: webtubbsPosted on 2009-07-04 at 01:05:58ID: 24776258

The obvious reference is "NetSpell.SpellChecker". Add a reference by browsing to the NetSpell.SpellChecker.dll file, located in the 'bin' folder of the demo project.

 

by: kor786Posted on 2009-07-04 at 01:18:25ID: 24776299

Type 'NetSpell.SpellChecker.Dictionary.WordDictionary' is not defined.      
getting erroir

 

by: webtubbsPosted on 2009-07-04 at 01:20:19ID: 24776306

Where are you getting that error? Have you added the reference yet??

 

by: kor786Posted on 2009-07-04 at 01:23:06ID: 24776314

yes i added the dll

 

by: webtubbsPosted on 2009-07-04 at 01:24:18ID: 24776320

So, where are you getting the error??

 

by: kor786Posted on 2009-07-04 at 01:32:08ID: 24776333

when i added the spell checker and the word dictionary references

 

by: webtubbsPosted on 2009-07-04 at 01:34:03ID: 24776338

What "word dictionary references"? There is only one required reference. How did you add the reference to the dll?

 

by: kor786Posted on 2009-07-04 at 01:35:21ID: 24776340

no i added them to my application

 

by: webtubbsPosted on 2009-07-04 at 01:38:02ID: 24776343

No, you need to add a reference to the application, not add the dll to your project. In the References tab in the Project Properties, click the "Add..." button, then browse to the DLL in the "Browse" tab of the dialog.

 

by: kor786Posted on 2009-07-04 at 01:39:32ID: 24776346

i have it attached

 

by: webtubbsPosted on 2009-07-04 at 01:41:02ID: 24776347

Until you add the reference as I described in http:#a24776343, I can't help you further.

 

by: kor786Posted on 2009-07-04 at 01:46:59ID: 24776351

Now, it works.Thanks!!

 

by: kor786Posted on 2009-07-04 at 01:48:00ID: 31599711

Thanks!Will  Ask if i have any issues!

 

by: kor786Posted on 2009-07-04 at 01:59:17ID: 24776369

Handles clause requires a WithEvents variable defined in the containing type or one of its base types:
Private Sub SpellChecker_DeletedWord(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As NetSpell.SpellChecker.SpellingEventArgs) Handles SpellChecker.DeletedWord
