This is very disappointing.

One of our largest clients needs spell-check ability on several pages. We told them we could do it using the WebSpellChecker which sounds great.

Then we saw that it requires a WebTextEditor which we hadn't used before but which is documented to support *all* features of the TextBox class plus extensions.

Then we tried to build this for our customer and realized that the WebTextBox doesn't actually support all the features of the TextBox class (Multiline in particular). That immediately makes use of the WebSpellChecker worthless. We want to spell check something more than a word or a short phrase - this can't be done the way the WebTextEditor is implemented.

We have to look elsewhere for a solution.

And yes, I did put in a request for this to be fixed on your request site today.

Yes, this is now available as of NetAdvantage for .NET 2009 Volume 2.  The WebTextEditor control, one of our ASP.NET AJAX control, has multiline capability.  This is different from our old WebTextEdit control, which is what was mentioned previously in this thread.

I see that is apparently available in v2009.2 (I am using 2009.1). I guess we have to dig through the site and update.

At least it is available I think.
