ASPNetSpell & MVC

ASPNetSpell fully support MVC and provides ASP.Net spellchecking in MVC2, MVC3 and MVC3+Razor. Please follow the following integration guide - and download eh Hello-World tutorials.

ASPNetSpell & MVC Web Forms

To Install ASPNetSpell into an MVC Web Forms Application - follow the standard installation guide... with 2 exceptions.

1. ASPNetSpellInclude

The ASPNetSpellInclude MUST be installed into your "Content" folder. The best way to do this is to drag-and-drop this folder into Solution Explorer from windows.

You do not need to change the InstallationPath property.... ASPNetSpell will automatically detect the MVC application and find the spellchecker assets at /Content/ASPNetSpellInclude/

2. Form Context

You can add ASPNetSpell.dll to the toolbox Right click on the Visual Studio ToolBox and pick "Choose Items..." and browse.

In your view - you must wrap the ASPNetSpell controls with a server form tag

<form id="Form1" runat="server">
        
<ASPNetSpell:SpellTextBox ID="SpellTextBox1" runat="server">Helloo Worlb.
</ASPNetSpell:SpellTextBox>
       
<ASPNetSpell:SpellButton ID="SpellButton1" runat="server" />

</form>

ASPNetSpell & MVC3 Razor Applications

ASPNetSpell is also compatible with MVC3 Razor... but installation is a little different.

1. ASPNetSpellInclude

The ASPNetSpellInclude folder MUST be copied into your "Content" folder. The best way to do this is to drag-and-drop this folder into Solution Explorer from windows.

2. Add the ASPNetSpell.dll as a reference

Add the ASPNetSpell.dll as a reference to the project by right clicking on the project references in the Solution Explorer and browsing to the ASPNetSpell.dll you downloaded.

• Click "Rebuild Solution" at this point. ASPNetSpell.dll will automatically be copied into your /bin directory. This will activate Intelisense in Visual Studio - making coding much easier.

3. Using ASPNetSpell in Razor

You can now add spell-checking buttons to your Razor views (pages) - and also add as-you-type spellchecking to any or all textareas in your veiws.

The classes to do this are in the ASPNetSpell.Razor namespace - and are rendered using the getHtml() function.

• You MUST set the InstallationPath property to "/Content/ASPNetSpellInclude".

E.g.

<textarea id="TextArea1" cols="20" rows="2">Hallo Worlb.</textarea>

@{     
    ASPNetSpell.Razor.SpellButton MySpellButton = new ASPNetSpell.Razor.SpellButton();
    MySpellButton.InstallationPath = ("/Content/ASPNetSpellInclude");
    MySpellButton.FieldsToSpellCheck = "TextArea1";
}
@Html.Raw(MySpellButton.getHtml())


  
@{ 
      ASPNetSpell.Razor.SpellAsYouType MyAsYouType = new ASPNetSpell.Razor.SpellAsYouType();
      MyAsYouType.InstallationPath = ("/Content/ASPNetSpellInclude");
      MyAsYouType.FieldsToSpellCheck = "TextArea1";
}
@Html.Raw(MyAsYouType.getHtml())
