How TX Spell .NET Appears in Visual Studio

  • The NuGet Package Manager. The setup adds the package source Text Control Offline Packages, which holds the packages of all installed Text Control products. In Project > Manage NuGet Packages..., you select this source and install TXTextControl.TXSpell.WinForms.SDK. Installing and Updating Packages shows the steps.
  • The toolbox. In a .NET project, the package adds the tab TXSpell 11.0 with the TXSpellChecker component to the toolbox; in a .NET Framework project, the setup creates the toolbox tab. You drag the component onto a form, where it appears in the component tray.
  • The Properties window. The designer connects the spell checker to TX Text Control without code: the SpellChecker property of the TextControl offers the TXSpellChecker in its drop-down list.

Visual Studio Toolbox and Designer describes the design-time support in detail.
