I'm not sure if this can be done at all, but it'd certainly make my life easier. I was wondering if maybe the MS spellchecker could be used as a plug-in for other applications... or something like that.
Thanks.

Well, I don't know about Visual Studio, but both Eclipse and Emacs have support for spellchecking inside comments. I usually have it off, because it too often gets in the way and complains about things like variable names, but then I don't really need a spellchecker (most of the time).

Visual Assist from Whole Tomato comes with a Spell Checker, along with many other wondrous productivity enhancing features - if you're using Visual Studio without Visual Assist you're really missing out :)
