Place the dictionary and the NetSpell.SpellChecker.dll in the bin folder in the root of your website.

 

It can help if you have a web.config file like the one below, to find out what's wrong.

 

The last line (<globalization culture="en-US"/>) forces the spellchecker to use the US dictionary, otherwise it will be using the system language in your web server (probably is US as well).

Good luck,

 

David

          more slowly, you should set this value to true only when debugging and to
          false at all other times. For more information, refer to the documentation about
          debugging ASP.NET files.
