Best spellchecker addin to VS2010

Question

I'm looking good (preferably free) add-in to Visual Studio 2010 which is able to check spelling of my code
(must analyse strings and comments, nice to have methods/fields names as well)

Can you advice any?

Answer 1

Please note:

This is an answer to a question about Visual Studio 2010.

The question and answer both date back to 2011.

Try http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/7c8341f1-ebac-40c8-92c2-476db8d523ce/
It has very good reviews/ratings and so many downloads.

If you deal with ASP.NET most of the time, this one might be even better for you...

Answer 2

Visual Assist X has nice spell checker for comments and strings, works in both C++ and C# (not sure about all the other languages).

It made me go over all the code in my current project and fix typos :)

Btw, I don't think spell checker for member names is a good idea. These are mostly composed of multiple concatenated words, shorthands etc.

If you are using Resharper 4x, 5x this is also interesting (FREE) option
