When I run spell checker from my web server I get the following error:
I've tried to search the forum for the same error type but have come up empty handed. If anyone can shed some light on my issue i'd really appreciate it.

Hi,

So i disabled the handling error and got the following back as the error:

Spell Check Handler Server Error:500

<html>

<head>

<title

>No dictionary loaded. Set the DictionaryPath property from the spell checker settings or copy the dictionaries to ~/App+Data/RadSpell/</

title>

<style>

body{font-family:"Verdana";font-weight:normal;font-size:.7em;color:black;}

p......

The error goes on with a reference further down telling me to copy the dictionaries to App_Data/RadSpell. So after this I went and looked for a fix in the forum. Tried the following steps like you suggested to another user.

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" />

Though i got the same error on my server when i ran the Spell Checker.
Is there anything else i might have missed or need to check in order for it to run.

Thanks.

SpellCheckerTest.zip

Hi Eduan,

You are using a very old build of RadSpell. Could you please upgrade to the latest one Q2 2011 SP1 (2011.2.915) and test it? If the problem still persists please isolate it in a sample working project and send it for examination on our side.

Please also test the attached sample project in which the spellchecker works as expected on my end.

Best wishes,

Hi,
I am also facing a similar problem.

I created an en-US-Custom.txt custom file and kept in the custom folder. When i do this in my local machine and run the spell checker it is working fine.
But when the same was done on a web server and launched the spell checker, then it throws following error.

RadSpell error. Server returned error: 500 Please, see the help for more details: RadSpell 3.x - Configuration - SpellCheckHandler./Core/Resources/Controls/RadControls/Spell/Telerik.RadSpellCheckHandler.ashxExpected ';'A fatal error has occurred

I don't know why this is happening like this.

The File version of "Telerik.Web.UI.dll" that i have is "2009.1.402.20".

If any one can look into my issue, it would be very helpful for me....Thanks in advance.

Thanks,
Vinay

Hello Rumen,

My company is currently not ready to upgrade to the next Version. So is there any workaround for that ?
Yes, I have uploaded the dictionary files in addition with the custom files.
Am attaching the screenshot of the error i got.

Please help me on this.

Thanks,

Hello,

Could you please replace the existing tdf dictionaries with the attached ones?

Also just for test, install and test the latest version of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX to see whether the problem is not fixed.

Hi Rumen,

Today i faced a weird situation.

we have different Web servers in which our application is hosted for our customers.

Earlier i tried in one Web server and that doesn't worked as explained earlier.

Today i tried in different Web server and here it worked properly and also found that previously (2 years ago) this custom dictionary was provided to one of my customers who is part of this Web server. So, this custom dictionary is working only for the customers
who is in this Web server and this is provided by one of the developers who is no longer in my company.

So, from this i can say there is no problem with the files that i have created.

So, Is there any configuration i have change to make the custom spell check work in other web servers.

Thanks,
Vinay
