Free en-GB dictionary for spell check in Silverlight

I'm trying to use the Vectorlight spell checker for Silverlight. The demo code comes with the en-US.dic file, but I'm trying to find a compatible one for British English.

I have found one here but it doesn't work. The format seems similar to the en-US one, but it just doesn't work (i.e. it doesn't suggest any words).

A: 

Answering my own question...

According to a reply on the VectorLight forum you can use the en-GB dictionary that comes with the NetSpell project on SourceForge.

One observation I'd make now is that even though I can get the VectorLight spellcheck to work with en-GB, there's still a big chunk of work to do to make it into a viable spellchecker. As it stands, it only checks single words, so there would be a lot of development to do to build a spellcheck dialog, allow customisation of the dictionary, etc.
