Can anyone recommend a third party control for an ASP.NET site that supports the entry and validation of address information for multiple countries?

For instance, when "USA" is selected as the country a text/combo box for "State" is displayed/enabled and required, where as it's hidden/disabled and not required when "Canada" or other countries are chosen. Ideally it would support North American and European address formats at a minimum.

Thanks.

You will probably be better off rolling your own address user control that fits your business needs.

As an aside, my recommendation for the country and state is to utilize the Cascading Drop-Down that comes with the AJAX Control Toolkit.

For those who might stumble upon this thread, I surprisingly have not found any third party controls to assist with the entry of multiple address formats. I found the following references useful in understanding address formats:

US Postal Service Address Standards http://pe.usps.gov/cpim/ftp/pubs/Pub28/Pub28.pdf
