    Hi,
    it looks like RadSpell's dictionary is file-based... is there any way to use database-based dictionary? Is it possible to override Telerik API to get words from the database?
    thanks!

    Hi Kate,

    I believe that the second approach discussed in this KB article: Changing the custom dictionary files location, could be helpful for your scenario.

    Hi,
    I am using the above technique for our custom dictionary. However, I noticed that if I have large number of words (I am testing with 5000 words) in the custom dictionary, the words in the dictionary does not get recognized as valid by spellchecker. I debugged my
    App and it seems to be going through ReadWord just fine even when there are 5000 words. Is there an upper limit to the number of words we can retrieve from the custom dictionary using the above API? Thanks!!

    Hello Kate,

    We have tested using custom dictionaries with a large number of words (>10000) and verified that the RadSpell control uses all of them. Perhaps there is a problem with a certain word in your custom dictionary, which contains invalid characters and is stopping the processing of the dictionary. Try looking at the custom words and removing words with numbers, or words containing dash, quote, or other non-alphabetical characters. Another thing you can try is change the spell check provider to EditDistanceProvider. This should remove the restrictions on non-alpha characters in the words.

    I am sorry, it looked like there was an extra trailing space in the words in the custom dictionary that I didn't notice. Everything is working fine. Sorry about that :(
