I'm looking for a simple spell checker to use with an text input. My application is being developed in ASP.NET MVC 2 within VS2010. I'm using the 4.0 version of the framework and my application will be accessed via an intranet using IE only.
A jQuery plugin would be ideal, but I'm happy to use any solution.
A step by step tutorial would be greatly appreciated! :)
Thanks

The problems with trusting spell check Spell check will not detect the improper use of homonyms, such as "their" and "there." Spell check may flag words as errors which are indeed correct. Spell check does not always offer useful spelling suggestions for severely misspelled words.
The Visual Studio 2022 editor will have a built-in spell-checker to help you code more accurately with fewer errors.
Most internet browsers have spell-checking enabled by default. You'll know it's turned on when misspelled words you are typing have a red line below them, to show they are incorrect, like the two words below: This article will show you how to enable this feature for Google Chrome or Safari.
Select the online marketplace and search for "Visual Studio Spell Checker". Include the quote marks for an exact match and find the one created by EWSoftware. Once found, you can click the Download button to download and install it. Once installed, you will find a new Spell Checker option on the Tools menu.
Always keep in mind that no matter what technologies you are using for your backend (asp.net MVC) you are using HTML+CSS+Javascript in the client, so being said that, any spell checked that works with Javascript will be good for your project.
Several Javascript spell checked are available, pick the one that fits you the best:

Check the last post, it's for MVC with Razor view engine and sample is implemented in HTML5.

The •jQuery Spell checker is not pure client side code. It uses a PHP page. I know I wasted an evening with that one. It says it supports google but it still needs the php page to access google api.
•jQuery Spell Checked plug-in Google has a limit of uses per day. And limits to ten words per query. If it is a small app then go for it.
I am checking out jspell now. It looks affordable and says it supports asp.net. Yes even that one is not pure client side. It uses a server side page.

The only javascript based solution i have found that doesn't require PHP was "JavaScript Spell Check" which offers a pure .net spellchecker which is MVC compatible. http://www.javascriptspellcheck.com
ASPNetSpell also offer a pure .net component which is MVC compatible. http://www.aspnetspell.com/MVCInstallation
full disclosure I have worked as a developer on both projects. Of the 2 i like javascriptspellcheck because it works on many of different project types on Unix and also Win hosting.
