In a project for .NET 8 or higher, TX Spell .NET for Windows Forms comes as NuGet packages: one for Windows Forms applications, and one for code without a user interface. The packages are not on nuget.org. On your development machine, the setup provides them in a local package source; build servers get them from the Text Control Private NuGet Feed. The current version of the packages is 11.0.1, version 11.0 with Service Pack 1.

### The Packages at a Glance

| Package | Use it for |
|---|---|
| `TXTextControl.TXSpell.WinForms.SDK` | Windows Forms applications: the spell checker component with its dialogs and menus |
| `TXTextControl.TXSpell.Core.SDK` | .NET and ASP.NET Core code without a user interface: the spell checking engine only |

Both target .NET 8 and install in projects for .NET 8 or higher. Each brings the license file and the US English language data. .NET Framework projects don't use the packages; they reference the assemblies of the setup, as [.NET and .NET Framework](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-spell-dotnet-winforms/installation/requirements/dotnet/llms-full.txt) describes.

### Where the Packages Come From

| Machine | Package source |
|---|---|
| Development machine | **Text Control Offline Packages**, which the setup of TX Spell .NET adds to NuGet |
| Build server or CI/CD pipeline | The Text Control Private NuGet Feed, with your email address and an API token |

The private feed serves `TXTextControl.TXSpell.WinForms.SDK` and `TXTextControl.TXSpell.Core.SDK` to licensees of TX Spell .NET for Windows Forms.
