Using the C# NHunspell how do I check words?

Question

Using the C# NHunspell, how do I check if a word is spelled correctly and if not what the correct spelling is?

I've imported the NHunspell.dll into the project. And have looked at the documentation.

But being a bit new at reading documentation it's hard to know where to start. Can someone provide an example on how to check if a word is spelled correctly? Basically I need a Helloworld for NHunspell.

Also, browse the unit tests: nhunspell.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/nhunspell/trunk/UnitTests/… – Glisten

I actually ended up using NetSpell because it was easier to implement. Thank you though! – Pederasty

using (Hunspell hunspell = new Hunspell("en_us.aff", "en_us.dic"))
{
    Console.WriteLine("Hunspell - Spell Checking Functions");
    Console.WriteLine("¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯");

    Console.WriteLine("Check if the word 'Recommendation' is spelled correct"); 
    bool correct = hunspell.Spell("Recommendation");
    Console.WriteLine("Recommendation is spelled " + 
       (correct ? "correct":"not correct"));

    Console.WriteLine("");
    Console.WriteLine("Make suggestions for the word 'Recommendatio'");
    List<string> suggestions = hunspell.Suggest("Recommendatio");
    Console.WriteLine("There are " + 
       suggestions.Count.ToString() + " suggestions" );
    foreach (string suggestion in suggestions)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Suggestion is: " + suggestion );
    }
}

When I try to implement this, I am getting error "AFF File not found". Where I can find or download it for hunspell. – Isopropyl

You can get it from open office, there are dictioniaries for spell checking. Open it with 7zip or some other archive viewer and extract the files. – Sound
