What is the best spell checking library for C#?

Question

What's the best spell checking library for C# / .net?

(This will be web-based, so the built in spell check for WPF won't work.)

Answer 1

I have used Aspell.net before with some success.

Answer 2

There is a aspell .net wrapper.

http://aspell-net.sourceforge.net/

Answer 3

You could embed the WPF spell checker using silverlight. Otherwise you might want to look at commercial products that are already available such as Telerik's ASP.NET AJAX Controls.

Answer 4

For a commercial solution:

I am currently evaluating RapidSpell and it seems be what I need. I will say that their demo install seemed to trash my third-party installs. (Something did, and I noticed it right after installing their demo. But that may have been coincidence.)

Answer 5

I have used NetSpell in the past with success. http://sourceforge.net/projects/netspell/

Answer 6

Telerik's control suite for ASP.NET comes with a spell-checker. You might check them out.

Answer 7

I've made a .NET Version (wrapper) of the Open Office / Google Chrome ... Spell Checker Hunspell. It is called NHunspell and can be used with C#. The Open Office Hyphenator "Hyphen" is also included. All Open Office Dictionaries work well. It is free (open Slocrc LGPL / MPL licensed).

Answer 8

For a custom solution I created a Web Service which then wrapped the WPF libraries. This gives the ability to use the built-in spell checking with ASP.NET applications/web sites by simply calling the Web Service.

An easy to follow and basic idea for the wrapping can be found here:
