Kindly help me out........

there is a C++ library that is open source called "aspell". you may be able to wrap it in .net get all its functionality without the headache.

but as far as I understand, on the space, comma, semicolon and period key presses, you could split the text in the box getting its last word, compare it to a dictionary and get if its spelled right. in which case you could change its color or something in a rich text box. as far as the suggestions, that could be based on a regular expression algorithm, but idk what the standard method is.

It wold be nice if the next version of .net offered a ritchtextbox control with a spellcheck feature build in.
