Hi,
I've been using the Telerik controls for close to 2.5 years now but have not really had to dig into the functionality of Spell. I've got an application scenario that requires a dynamic dictionary. Consider many users updating a single dictionary and each of those users having access to all updates.
From what I can tell Spell only uses text files. I considered how I might to this but multiple file sharing is always messy. The elegant solution would be to store dictionary entries in a database then generate the dictionary on the fly when a user needed to use the dictionary. The only problem being is that there doesn't seem to be any functionality in Spell to connect it to a database source.
I have considered using the DictionaryImporter class in conjunction with the MemoryStream class as an avenue of investigation but have not done so yet.
So my question to you is what is involved in getting Spell to use an database for dictionaries rather than form .tdf files?
Cheers,
Michael
