Introduction:
Here I will explain how to bind all countries to dropdownlist in asp.net using c#, vb.net with example or get all countries or display countries in dropdownlist in asp.net using c#, vb.net. By using System.Globalization namespace we can get all countries list in asp.net using c#, vb.net.
Description:
In previous articles I explained Angularjs get dropdownlist selected value & text, display gridview based on dropdownlist selection in asp.net, bind dropdownlist in gridview in asp.net, gridview examples in asp.net and many articles relating to dropdownlist, gridview, asp.net, c#,vb.net and jQuery. Now I will explain how to bind all countries to dropdownlist in asp.net using c#, vb.net with example.

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title>binding all countries
to dropdownlist in asp.net</title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1"
runat="server">
<div>
<b>Select Country:</b><asp:DropDownList ID="ddlCountries"
runat="server"/>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Now add following namespaces in code behind
C#
Code
using System;
using System.Web;
using System.Globalization;
using
System.Collections.Generic;
using
System.Web.UI.WebControls;
|
After completion of adding namespaces you need to write the
code like as shown below
protected void Page_Load(object
sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
List<string> objcountries = new
List<string>();
CultureInfo[]
objculture = CultureInfo.GetCultures(CultureTypes.SpecificCultures);
foreach (CultureInfo getculture in
objculture)
{
RegionInfo objregion
= new RegionInfo(getculture.LCID);
if
(!(objcountries.Contains(objregion.EnglishName)))
{
objcountries.Add(objregion.EnglishName);
}
}
objcountries.Sort();
ddlCountries.DataSource = objcountries;
ddlCountries.DataBind();
}
}
|
VB.NET
Code
Imports System.Web
Imports System.Globalization
Imports
System.Collections.Generic
Imports System.Web.UI.WebControls
Partial Class VBCode
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal
sender As Object,
ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles
Me.Load
If Not
IsPostBack Then
Dim objcountries As New List(Of String)()
Dim objculture As CultureInfo()
= CultureInfo.GetCultures(CultureTypes.SpecificCultures)
For Each getculture As CultureInfo In
objculture
Dim objregion As New RegionInfo(getculture.LCID)
If Not
(objcountries.Contains(objregion.EnglishName)) Then
objcountries.Add(objregion.EnglishName)
End If
Next
objcountries.Sort()
ddlCountries.DataSource = objcountries
ddlCountries.DataBind()
End If
End Sub
End Class
