Where are words that users "Add To Dictionary" Stored?

Good Question!

By default - all words are stored in the users browser cache - and no-one else is affected.

Where are 'added' words stored

Look at the AddWordsToDictionary property of your SpellButton or SpellTextArea.

• 'User' saves locally for 1 user only. Words are saved in cookies.
• 'None' disables the feature and removes the button
• 'Server' saves centrally on your server and affects all other users. Words are saved in ~/ASPNetSpellInclude/dictionaries/custom.txt

To allow 'Server' dictionary entries to be written - add: to web.config

<appSettings>
    ....
      <add key="aspnetspell_usecentraldictionary" value="True" />

Developer - Adding words to the dictionary

Adding New Words At Runtime Using JavaScript:

// javascript code
livespell.userDict.add(strWord);

The words are stored in accordance with the AddWordsToDictionary property of the last ASPNetSPell control on your web page/form.

Adding New Words Manually:

1. Add 1 word per line to ~/AspNetSpellInclude/Dictionaries/custom.txt

Removing Words Manually:

1. Add 1 word per line to ~/AspNetSpellInclude/Dictionaries/language-rules/banned-words.txt
