Rich Text Box Spell Check

[MacShand]

hi

got the following code from microsoft online thing...

Imports System
Imports System.Windows
Imports System.Windows.Controls

Namespace SDKSample
	Partial Public Class SpellCheckExample
		Inherits Page
		Public Sub New()
			Dim myStackPanel As New StackPanel()

			'Create TextBox
			Dim myTextBox As New TextBox()
			myTextBox.Width = 200

			' Enable spellchecking on the TextBox.
			myTextBox.SpellCheck.IsEnabled = True

			' Alternatively, the SetIsEnabled method could be used
			' to enable or disable spell checking like this:
			' SpellCheck.SetIsEnabled(myTextBox, True)

			myStackPanel.Children.Add(myTextBox)
			Me.Content = myStackPanel
		End Sub
	End Class
End Namespace

however, i'm getting the error "Namespace' statements can occur only at file or namespace level."

not sure what im doing wrong...can't work out where the namespace statement should be placed...thanks in advance

Where have you put that code? Is it on its own in its own code file or did you paste into some existing code?

[jmcilhinney]

By the way, that code is for WPF, not Windows Forms. Are you using WPF?

Aw man! I'm using vb. I'm sure I got that on the vb section of Microsoft online.

Trying to get the red underline on misspelt words in my rich text box...any advice?

[jmcilhinney]

Sure, I have some advice: answer the questions I asked.

I didn't say that that wasn't VB code. It is VB code. What I said was that it is for WPF rather than Windows Forms. VB is a programming language. WPF and Windows Forms are technologies. When you created your VB project, you'd have selected a project type. If you chose Windows Forms Application then that code is useless to you. If you chose WPF Application then that code is applicable.

Sorry, quite new to this - just learning, I hope that's ok.

So, it's a windows form application I'm creating.

I had pasted that code under public class, with the three "imports" lines before the public class - although this info may be irrelevant now seeing as this code won't work with windows forms :S
Thanks for your help, I appreciate it.
