Spell Check Handler Server Error:500

[Aaron]

I'm getting this error when I click on the spell check button in the rad editor.  

Item has already been added.  Key in dictionary '6'  Key being added : '6'

I have the handler set up in the web.config, and have the tdf files in the App_Data\RadSpell folder.

I've attached a screenshot of the error I'm getting.

Thanks,
Aaron

Hi Aaron,

We are not aware of such problem and you are the first one to report it. I tried to reproduce it locally but to no avail. Could you please provide more detailed information on the subject?

• Which version of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX and .NET Framework are used in the application?
• Could you please provide the full error message that is displayed in the popup? To do so, click on the popup and then press Ctrl+C to copy the entire text.
• Could you please provide a simple fully runnable project reproducing the problem so we can investigate it further?

Looking forward to hearing from you,

• We're using 2012.2.724.40
• It won't let me copy text out of the js alert that has the error message in it.
• I have a project that's reproducing the issue, but how am I supposed to send that to you because I can only upload image files to this forum.

Please advise.

Hello,

This error usually indicates a corrupt dictionary file. Please check your spell dictionaries (*.tdf files) and make sure that they are the same as the originals from the RadEditor installation. If you have tried to make modifications to some of the tdf dictionary files, you can tell us what you wanted to change and we will tell you how to do it.

The words in the spell dictionary are ordered by length. The error details mean that there was a word of "length 7" or more somewhere in the "length 7" words part of the dictionary.

Can you give me a link for somewhere that I can get the original dictionary files?  I don't think that our copy of the file has been modified, but I'd be willing to replace that file with the original if you can direct me to it.

Hi,

The supported en-US, de-DE and fr-FR TDF dictionaries of RadSpell are available in all RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX installations. For your convenience I have attached them to my reply.

Sure enough that was the issue.  I'll admit that I didn't really think that was the issue, because I'm pretty sure we got those dictionary files from the install that we had of the controls.  Maybe I pulled those files from a different version or something.  Who knows.


Thanks,
Aaron
