Potential bug in radspell

[Ahmed Al-Asaad]

I have the following requirement:

• Radspell control to spell check a textbox
• Radspell supports English and French languages
• When an English user views the page, the English language is preselected from the dropdown, French language is selected otherwise

I got the above working. However, when a French users enters purely English text in the textbox and select English from the drop down, the control still do the spell checking as if French is selected. I am using version 2011.1.519.40 and asp.net 4.0.

I noticed that the issue occurs when only if I set the DictionryLanguage property

Here is the code I have used

Public Class _Default
    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

    Dim language As String


    Protected Sub RadSpell1_Init(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles RadSpell1.Init
        RadSpell1.SupportedLanguages = New String() {"en-us", "English", "fr-fr", "French"}

        If language = "1" Then
            RadSpell1.DictionaryLanguage = "fr-fr"
        Else
            RadSpell1.DictionaryLanguage = "en-us"

        End If

    End Sub

    Private Sub Page_PreInit(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.PreInit
        If Request.QueryString.AllKeys.Contains("lang") Then
            language = Request.QueryString("lang").ToString
        End If
    End Sub
End Class

<%@ Page Title="Home Page" Language="vb" MasterPageFile="~/Site.Master" AutoEventWireup="false"
    CodeBehind="Default.aspx.vb" Inherits="TelerikRadSpellPOC._Default" %>

<%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" TagPrefix="telerik" %>

<asp:Content ID="HeaderContent" runat="server" ContentPlaceHolderID="HeadContent">
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content ID="BodyContent" runat="server" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent">
    <telerik:RadScriptManager ID="RadScriptManager1" runat="server">
</telerik:RadScriptManager>
    <h2>
        Welcome to ASP.NET!
    </h2>
    <div>
        <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
        <telerik:RadSpell ID="RadSpell1" runat="server"  ControlToCheck="TextBox1"
                    />

    </div>
</asp:Content>

Please let me know if I missed anything

As a work a around I have done the following

Private Sub RadSpell1_Init(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles RadSpell1.Init
        If TLang = LanguageType.English Then

            RadSpell1.SupportedLanguages = New String() {"en-us", "English", "fr-fr", "French"}

        Else

            RadSpell1.SupportedLanguages = New String() {"fr-fr", "French", "en-us", "English"}

        End If

    End Sub

It would be nice from the Telerik staff to let me know if I have done something wrong. I am the same person who posted the issue and I am using my work account which has the subscription instead of my personal
Thanks
