Spell Checking in Visual Studio
Considering a good tone of programming, I always leave a sufficient number of comments in the code of my programs, and since I work for a foreign company, I have to do this in English. I am satisfied with my knowledge of English, but unfortunately no one has freed us from stupid mistakes like “typo”, so I thought about checking spelling. As they say, Google to help, but nothing was found, nothing suitable was found:
1. studiospell - Paid
2. IntelliSpell - also paid
3. VS Spell - Support only VS 2010
and so on ...
After a bit of sadness and recalling the recent experience of creating add-ons for the studio, quickly in two days I sketched the spelling check in any piece of the selected text using the Hunspell library and dictionaries .

Installation and use:

Text verification occurs exclusively in the verification window for two reasons:
The Open Source project and I hope that it will be useful not only to me.

After a bit of sadness and recalling the recent experience of creating add-ons for the studio, quickly in two days I sketched the spelling check in any piece of the selected text using the Hunspell library and dictionaries .
Opportunities:
- Spell check in any language - just copy the dictionary with the desired language into the addon folder
- Spellcheck in selected text
- Standard features for spell checking: Skip, skip all, add to the dictionary, replace, replace all
Installation and use:
- Download the archive from the project site VSSpellerAddin
- Unzip files to the \ Documents \ Visual Studio 2008 \ Addins \ folder
- We launch the studio
- Select the desired text and select Spell check ... in the context menu.

Text verification occurs exclusively in the verification window for two reasons:
- I could not find a way to emphasize the text in the editor - if anyone knows how - I will be very grateful
- Plugins that emphasize the text (IntelliSpell, ReSharper) noticeably slow down the studio
The Open Source project and I hope that it will be useful not only to me.
