ASPxSpellCheckerCustomDictionary.AddWord(String) Method

Appends a word to a custom dictionary.

Namespace: DevExpress.Web.ASPxSpellChecker

Assembly: DevExpress.Web.ASPxSpellChecker.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Web

Declaration

C#

public virtual void AddWord(
    string word
)

VB.NET

Public Overridable Sub AddWord(
    word As String
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
word	String	A string, representing a word to add.

Remarks

The method changes the letters in a word to the lower case, appends a word to the custom dictionary, fills in the corresponding metaphones, sorts the dictionary, saves it to the session and rebuilds the dictionary’s alphabet.

Note

To save a dictionary to a file for subsequent use, handle the ASPxSpellChecker.WordAdded event and write words from dictionary to a stream.

This code illustrates that you can handle the ASPxSpellChecker.WordAdded event to save an updated custom dictionary to the original location. The ASPxSpellChecker.GetCustomDictionary method enables you to access a custom dictionary that is currently in use.
