Standardized US States Array and Countries Array
Does anyone know of a nice, usable class th开发者_开发技巧at everyone on here could benefit from to use in populating the ComboBox controls on a form for the Country and State fields?
I hate having to reinvent the wheel every time, and someone has probably done a very nice piece of work somewhere.
Bonus points if the existing class can return a list of State options whenever the Country is selected!
I'm currently developing this for a Windows Form (non-web application), and this project can't pull from a website.
OK, so I made one.
I built it nice and generic, so anyone should be able to use it
There is a class at the bottom called US_States that is used as a container to store the State Name and State Abbreviation.

Countries, and states within them come and go more frequently than you'd think around the world, and so hard coding them is not the best idea. It's best to get them both dynamically. Otherwise you're going to have to update your program every time there's a political change anywhere in the world. Further, from a software design perspective, political boundaries are data sets of significant size, and therefore putting them in a database instead of in your code should be the default choice.
If you can't pull from a web location, you should still be able to setup your code so that the data is stored somewhat-separately and pulled in dynamically it's therefore easier to update from a list.
There are ISO Standards for both, ISO_3166-1 for countries and ISO_3166-2 for country's administrative subdivisions (states/provinces), however they charge for ongoing access to their lists. There's also geonames.org which is free and what I'd therefore recommend to start with. Ideally you'll want a database which regularly updates from one of these sources, and then pull in the information from there.
There is a programmatic work-around for countries as in this SO answer: List of All Countries DropDown. However you'll notice that Regions do not map perfectly to countries, and therefore you'll have non-country regions like "Carribbean" in your results.
