[.NET 3.5+] Spell Checking Library

[ForumAccount]

Attached is a library I created that uses a Google API to retrieve spelling suggestions for text. The attachment is a solution that will compile into a dll.

Here is an example:

Imports System.Globalization
Imports System.SpellChecking

Public Sub SpellCheck()
    '//create the spell checking class
    Using checker = New Checker(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture)
        '//create the request
        Dim request = New Request("The folloing text is a tst.")
        request.Multilined = False
        '//you can pass plain text to the check method if desired
        Dim result = checker.Check(request)
        '//check if the spell check errored
        If result.Errored Then
            Console.WriteLine("Spell check errored")
        Else
            If result.HasCorrections Then
                '//loop through all the corrections
                For Each c As Correction In result.Corrections
                    '//write out the word that the suggestions are for
                    Console.WriteLine("{0}:", c.Word)
                    If c.HasSuggestions Then
                        For Each s As Suggestion In c.Suggestions
                            '//write out each suggestion for the word
                            Console.WriteLine("{0}{1}", ControlChars.Tab, s.Value)
                        Next
                    Else
                        Console.WriteLine("{0}No suggestions", ControlChars.Tab)
                    End If
                Next
            Else
                Console.WriteLine("No corrections")
            End If
        End If
    End Using
End Sub

And this would be the output:

folloing:
	fooling
	filling
	following
	falling
	felling
tst:
	test
	tat
	ST
	St
	st

I'll leave it up to you to create your own spell checking user interface. As long as you or the user have an internet connection you can spell check.

Also note that, exposed in the Checker class, is a CheckAsync method so that you can asynchronously spell check. I have also completely documented every member so that nothing should be unclear.
