TX Spell .NET for Windows Forms 11.0 is made for Visual Studio 2022: the release notes of version 11.0 name it for creating applications for .NET 8 and .NET 9. You write the code in C# or Visual Basic, start from the Windows Forms templates of Visual Studio, and add TX Spell .NET from the package source the setup provides.

### Supported Version and Languages

|  | Supported |
|---|---|
| Visual Studio | Visual Studio 2022 |

The setup installs its samples in C# and Visual Basic. The tutorials of this documentation use C#. The blog article [Document Editor with TX Spell .NET on Linux using ASP.NET Core](https://www.textcontrol.com/blog/2026/01/28/document-editor-tx-spell-net-linux-aspnet-core/) uses Visual Studio 2026.

### 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](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-spell-dotnet-winforms/installation/nuget/install-update/llms-full.txt) 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](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-spell-dotnet-winforms/installation/toolbox/llms-full.txt) describes the design-time support in detail.
