Before you install TX Spell .NET for WPF 11.0, check what it needs: the framework your application targets, the Windows version you develop on and your Visual Studio. The requirements are modest, because TX Spell .NET consists of managed assemblies only, with no native libraries of its own. Each requirement has a page of its own with the details.

### At a Glance

| Requirement | Supported |
|---|---|
| .NET | .NET 8 and .NET 9, with the NuGet package `TXTextControl.TXSpell.WPF.SDK`; prepared for .NET 10 |
| .NET Framework | 4.5, 4.6, 4.7 and 4.8, with the assemblies of the setup |
| Windows for development | Windows 10 and Windows 11 |
| Visual Studio | Visual Studio 2022 |
| Languages | C# and Visual Basic |
| Processor architectures | Any: the assemblies are compiled for AnyCPU and run in 32-bit and 64-bit processes |
| TX Text Control | Optional; TX Spell .NET 11.0 was released together with TX Text Control 33.0, and the tutorials of this documentation use 34.0 |

TX Spell .NET doesn't require TX Text Control: it checks the text of any control, and the package `TXTextControl.TXSpell.Core.SDK` checks text in code without any user interface. When you use it with TX Text Control, the requirements of TX Text Control apply to your application as well.

### Find the Right Page

| If you want to | Read |
|---|---|
| Choose between .NET and the .NET Framework, and check the supported versions | [.NET and .NET Framework](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-spell-dotnet-wpf/installation/requirements/dotnet/llms-full.txt) |
| Check the Windows versions, and where an application with TX Spell .NET runs | [Windows Versions](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-spell-dotnet-wpf/installation/requirements/windows/llms-full.txt) |
| Check your Visual Studio version and find the project templates | [Visual Studio](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-spell-dotnet-wpf/installation/requirements/visual-studio/llms-full.txt) |

### Where to Start

Read [.NET and .NET Framework](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-spell-dotnet-wpf/installation/requirements/dotnet/llms-full.txt) first: the framework decides whether your project uses the NuGet packages or the assemblies of the setup. Then continue with [Installing the Product](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-spell-dotnet-wpf/installation/setup/llms-full.txt).
