Running HTML Spell checker on all ASP.NET and HTML files in the solution

If you want to run HTML Spell checker on all aspx, ascx, htm and html files in the solution, you can use the following macro.

1. Click Tools | Macros | Macro IDE
2. Select MyMacros node
3. Click Project | Add Module
4. Specify SpellChecker as module name and click OK
5. Replace module content with the code below
6. Click File | Save MyMacros and exit Macro IDE
7. Click Tools | Macros | Macro Explorer
8. Open MyMacros | SpellChecker node
9. Right-Click on the SpellCheckSolution and choose Run

The macro iterates through files and folders in the solution and run spell checker on every file. You can see progress in the Output Window (View | Output Window). Results should appear in the Visual Studio Error List window.
