Methods

AddBannedWords(string[] wordList)	void	Words in wordlist will always be considered spelling errors - even if they are in a dictionary. This is useful for blocking inappropriate acronyms and profanity.
BuildDictionary(string[] wordList, string cacheId = "")	string	Builds a ASpNetSpell dictionary (.dic format) from an array of words. If cacheId is set - the dictionary is loaded into the SpellChecker immediately. Otherwise the dictionary is returned as a string.
BuildCommonTypos(string[] CTEentries)	void	Builds a list of common typing mistakes that fine tune spellchecker performance. Entries are in the format "teh-->the".
BuildEnforcedCorrections(string[] ECEentries)	void	Builds a list of enforced corrections which override existing suggestions algorithms for given words. Entries are in the format "aspnetspell-->ASPNetSpell\|\|ASP.Net Spell".
CorrectCase(string word, bool capitalized)	string	Returns word in the correct case as seen in the dictionary. If capitalized is true then the returned word will be capitalized.
DidYouMean(string phrase)	string	Returns the a search engine style spelling suggestion for an entire phrase.
ErrorTypeWord (string word)	char	Returns an error type for any misspelled word: 'E' - Enforced Correction 'B' - Word is on your banned words list 'C' - A CaSe Mistake 'X' - (infrequent) Unlicensed software 'S' - Spelling mistake. Not found in any dictionary and none of the above cases apply. null - word is valid
ListDictionaries()	string[]	Returns an array of all of the ASPNetSpell .dic dictionaries installed in your DictionaryPath folder.
ListLiveDictionaries()	List<string>	Returns a list of all dictionaries currently loaded into the SpellChecker's memory.

LoadCustomDictionary( string filePath )	void	Words in the file specified (1 per line) will always be added to the SpellChecker's vocabulary. This allows non compiled text files to be used as dictionaries.
LoadCustomDictionaryFromURL( string filePath )	void	As LoadCustomDictionary, but words are fetched from a URL

SpellCheckWord (string word)	bool	Is the word found in any loaded dictionary. Banned words will always return false.
