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.WPF.SDK. Installing and Updating Packages shows the steps.

• XAML instead of the toolbox. The WPF spell checker is not a control in the toolbox. You declare it as a resource of the window and name its key in the SpellChecker property of the TextControl:

  <Window.Resources>
      <spell:TXSpellChecker x:Key="txSpellChecker1" />
  </Window.Resources>
  

  The prefix spell maps the namespace TXTextControl.WPF.Proofing of the assembly TXSpell.WPF.

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

Next Steps
