Visual Studio 08 Spell Check Addin?

+2 A:

FxCop ships with a spell check now - have you tried that?

Here's a nice add-on for Visual Studio 2005/2008 by Mikhail Arkhipov of MSFT.

The plugin from Microsoft's Mikhail Arkhipov does HTML and Comments, I don't believe it does C# strings, though. I use the Agent Smith plugin for ReSharper for that.

I've had issues getting this to work in SP1. I'm not sure what the deal is but all the context menus are there and they seem to do nothing.

Note: Requires MS Office to be installed

Doesn't check C# strings!!! Only seems to check stuff that looks like HTML

Just kidding, the new version 2.2 does!!!! http://blogs.msdn.com/webdevtools/archive/2008/11/29/spell-checker-update-2-2-full-support-for-vs-2008-sp1-simpler-setup-and-a-few-bug-fixes.aspx

What about VS 2005?

@serhio, version 2.1 of that plugin supports VS 2005 SP1

The source code for Spelly is available, it would be pretty easy to update it for vs2008.

Well, 3 weeks later, I've stumbled across CodeSpell.

Its $30 but has a trial period. Does everything I asked for. Check link to see features.

This blog entry, though dated, helped me out.

I use this to check Comments and string spell checker. It's from component one http://www.componentone.com/SuperProducts/IntelliSpell/. It's very fast ~~and there is a free community version.~~

This only has a free trial, otherwise $200 for a license. A lot for spell check plugin.

There used to be a free community version but seems this no longer exists. Still a good product though and I think worth the money.

Spelly has been ported to VS 2003. I don't know if it works with VS 2008 (because I'm very happy with Agent Smith for ReSharper), but source is included.

If you're using ReSharper, there's a free addon for it called Agent Smith Plugin. One of its many features is a built in spell checker, that allows fixing the spelling mistakes using the ReSharper shortcut key, Alt-Enter.

CodeRush also has spell check.

THis is really nice & very useful Spell checker Add-in for VS2005/VS2008 both.
