This is pretty old now, but I came across it few weeks back only. A fantastic add-on for Visual Studio, developed by
Mikhail Arkhipov, the spell checker works in source view of HTML and ASP.NET design pages (aspx, ascx etc) and checks for spelling errors pretty intelligently.
It actually integrates MS Office 2003 spell checker with Visual Studio to do the job. Once installed, it is available in the 'Tools' menu in Visual Studio. When invoked from the menu, it checks the text and indicates spelling errors just like MS Word. However, it doesn't check for grammatical errors. It also provides suggestions for the correct word when the erroneous text is double clicked.
The best part is that by default it looks for text strings which will show up on the UI and excludes other tags, attributes and commands. However this can be customized further by using rules.
Read more about this on Mikhail's blog.Yesterday, Mikhail has also published a multilingual edition of this tool. I have not evaluated this one yet, I am happy using English only :). So you let me know how that one works!
