I'm trying to get the spell check to work under Prometheus. With everything I try I get the following 500 error:

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I've loaded the skins for Prometheus under the themes folder, the dictionaries under the Data-App folder and the Global Resource files.

Hello Alice,

I examined the provided project files and I was able to fix the problem with the following steps:

Upgraded the Telerik.Web.UI.dll with this one from the bin35 folder of the latest SP1 hotfix Telerik.Web.UI_2007_3_1314_trial_hotfix.zip. The bin32 version applies to .NET 3.5 projects in VS 2008
After that I registered the spellcheck dialog handler in the web.config file:

<httpHandlers>
   <add path="Telerik.Web.UI.SpellCheckHandler.axd" verb="*" type="Telerik.Web.UI.SpellCheckHandler, Telerik.Web.UI, Version=2007.3.1314.35, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=121fae78165ba3d4"
    validate="false" />
   <add path="Telerik.Web.UI.DialogHandler.aspx" verb="*" type="Telerik.Web.UI.DialogHandler, Telerik.Web.UI, Version=2007.3.1314.35, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=121fae78165ba3d4"
    validate="false" />
</httpHandlers>

You can do that through the smart tag of the spellchecker in Design mode of VS.
I noticed that the dictionaries are located in the ~/App_Data/RadSpell folder which means that the DictionaryPath poperty should point that folder but not ~/RadSpell/en-us.tdf, e.g.

<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox9" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>

<telerik:RadSpell ID="RadSpell1" Runat="server" ControlToCheck="TextBox9"
DictionaryPath="~/App_Data/RadSpell" SpellCheckProvider="TelerikProvider"
ButtonType="PushButton" FragmentIgnoreOptions="All"
SupportedLanguages="en-US,English" WordIgnoreOptions="None" />

Finally I tested the spellchecker and verified that it works properly in VS2008 and .NET 3.5.

Kind regards,

Hi Daniel,

We are not quite sure whether you are using RadSpell as a standalone control or RadSpell as a spellchecker of RadEditor. Nevertheless, in order to avoid adding DictionaryPath / SpellDictionaryLanguage for each spell checker in 50 different pages you can easily configure your custom Theme. In this Theme you can configure the editor's (if using RadEditor) or the spell's (if using RadSpell) configuration, so that when you have to change all the RadEditors' or RadSpells' configuration, the only thing you will have to do is to change the configuration in the Theme. Also, you will have to set the SkinId property, within the editor's or spell's declaration, to point to you custom Theme.

For more information on this topic, please, review the following help article:
Using Themes.

I hope this helps.

Best regards,
George

Hi,

Is there a reason why you are still using the RadSpell.Net2 assembly, when the Telerik.Web.UI build you have (2009.1) already has the RadSpell control in it? I suggest that you remove the RadSpell.Net2 reference and use only the Telerik.Web.UI.RadSpell class. The default dictionary path for the new version is ~/App_Data/RadSpell/. Try copying your dictionaries there and see if the error is gone. If that does not help, open a formal support ticket and send us a sample project which we can test and tell you how to fix the problem.
