Why are you merging the desktop technology with web? Although you can use the back-end logic on your web app.

the only purpose is to use spellcheck feature.

That is why Silverlight was invented.

silverlight doesnt support spellcheck feature. I need realtime spellcheck feature.

Use ajax! Or perhaps, Web API, or SignalR to be more specific.

This is nonsense. You cannot use WPF for Web application. It will become apparent if you understand what both types of applications do.

No. It is not possible...
Notice that you are talking about UI, which is highly dependent on the medium/device you use to display...
So WPF was designed for desktop display and directly uses DirectX installed on your OS...
A web form on the other hand displayed inside some browser window and has no direct access to the OS hosting the browser. To utilize the abilities you have in WPF you need some layer that can convert between WPF and the web platform...There is Silverlight that actually do all (almost) WPF things inside a browser window, but it is not equal to WPF in all aspect...
If all you want to use is the spell-checking ability you may separate it form the UI control and use it as a back-end service for your web control...
Maybe a better option is to Google for a special spell checker that fits web forms (for instance jQuery has some spell-checker plugins for that)...
(A side note: as today all modern browsers has built in spell-checking and you may not need any special spell-checking at all)
