The Windows Presentation Foundation of Microsoft’s .NET Framework 3.0 gives you a lot of bang for the buck—for instance, it includes a free spell checker. Unfortunately, you sometimes get what you pay for. There is no ability to add a custom dictionary in the current version of the spellchecker. There also appears to be no documentation on which dictionary the information is being drawn from, where it is stored on disk—even where the ignore list for an individual user is stored.
So I tried some experiments: I created a Windows Search index over my AppData folder, opened a WPF application, and told it to ignore a misspelled word. I then searched for the misspelled word in my AppData folder and didn’t find it—meaning that the file containing the ignore list was not stored there. I even searched the registry and didn’t find the word. So where is it stored? It’s not in the base framework folders either…
