Hi,

I know that there is steel no one has made such textbox. B'cause of big volume of dictionary at client side.

But I want to know how should I start coding towards that direction.

In short I do not want to check all the words against full dictionary. But How should I make custom control for that which captures on giving space in textbox check against some small collection of words or on editing word, underlining word with red line if it is not match , on right click it giving some list, on selecting from list it it should replace the word.

Just a small scenario i m thinking.

Plz help me.

 I have a suggestion where you can show related text as shown in the Google Suggest search textbox. It should be difficult as there is TextChanged event available.In textchanged event you shud get the data and show user to select.

Yes you should really use a richtextbox if you want to underline words, there is a demo of richtextbox with spell checker here which is free.  Having the whole dictionary download to the client initially can take some time but once the user has viewed it once it is cached which makes it a much better prospect than using web services.
