I noticed that the VAX spell checker complains about the cref attribute of the C# <see cref="..." /> XML comment tag.
Suggestion for a simple solution: The spell checker should ignore everything in a comment from an opening "<" symbol to its matching ">" counterpart. |

Workaround is to add cref to the dictionary. Right+Click cref to add.

Okay, that will do for now. Thanks! |

Now that I've been using the workaround for a while I have another question. Isn't the "add" or "ignore" command permanent? I keep clicking on either one but the spellchecker just keeps flagging terms it doesn't like the next time I start Visual Studio.
Also, just to make sure this is covered in the bugfix -- the "paramref" tag is also incorrectly flagged. Not sure about "seealso" since I haven't used it yet. |

for those who can get to the private beta forum see 2531
Chris, you may find that your "USUser.dic" file in the VAX install directory looks wrong. |

Sadly I don't seem to have access to the private forum.
Could you please elaborate on what "looks wrong" means? I saw that USUser.dic has read-only set which is probably an installer error, so I cleared that flag... was that it? |

No. Look at the contents. It may be full of code snippets and other garbage. |

It's not, the file size is 756 bytes and the date is 10 July 2002.
Look guys, could you *please* just tell me what's the matter and what I should do, since you seem to know? |

We don't know what to do. We've just observed that the user dictionary is sometimes full of garbage. Support haven't responded to this issue. |

But it does seem strange that the date on the file is 10th July 2002. Is that the creation date or the modification date? If it's the modification date, maybe your additions are not being added to the file at all.
You said you'd cleared the write-protection flag. It's still off, is it? Have you added more entries to the dictionary since then? |

Sorry, I thought you guys already knew what was going on and were hiding dark secrets in that mysterious beta forum! :)
Yes, now that I've cleared the R/O flag my entries are correctly getting added to the dictionary. Looks like I've found an installer bug then.
Addendum to C# comment tags: listheader is also incorrectly flagged.
Addendum to the spell checker in general: Genitive forms with an apostrophe (like cat's) are always flagged, only the accent aigue (cat-?s) is accepted. While that might be typographically nicer, it does seem to me that the common apostrophe genitive should be accepted as well. |

I second that. A lot of people use only ' and not `. Would be nice if you make the spell checker accept both... |
