Hi,
You can create a country droppdown like this,
[ToolboxData("<{0}:CountryDropDownList runat=server></{0}:CountryDropDownList>")]
public class CountryDropDownList : DropDownList
{
public override void DataBind()
{
SortedList slCountry = new SortedList();
string Key = "";
string Value = "";
if (UseFirstItem)
{
slCountry.Add(FirstItemText, FirstItemValue);
}
foreach (CultureInfo info in CultureInfo.GetCultures(CultureTypes.SpecificCultures))
{
RegionInfo info2 = new RegionInfo(info.LCID);
if (!slCountry.Contains(info2.EnglishName))
{
Value = info2.TwoLetterISORegionName;
Key = info2.EnglishName;
slCountry.Add(Key, Value);
}
}
base.DataSource = slCountry;
base.DataTextField = "Key";
base.DataValueField = "Value";
base.DataBind();
if (UseFirstItem)
{
base.SelectedIndex = base.Items.IndexOf(base.Items.FindByValue(FirstItemValue));
}
}
private string _firstItemText = "Select Country";
public string FirstItemText
{
get { return _firstItemText; }
set { _firstItemText = value; }
}
private string _firstItemValue = "-1";
public string FirstItemValue
{
get { return this._firstItemValue; }
set { this._firstItemValue = value; }
}
private bool _useFirtItem = false;
public bool UseFirstItem
{
get { return this._useFirtItem; }
set { this._useFirtItem = value; }
}
}
You can download this as project(Imgalib.Utility)from
here[
^] and use as a dll.
Hope this will help.
