Hi There!
I'm trying to create a User Registration page in ASP.NET and wondering what is the best way to get the list of up-to-date Countries and Cities? Are there any Web Services on the web that I can use to retrieve such information? If not, what are the options?
Please, any suggestions and pointers will be very much appreciated
How about this? http://www.maxmind.com/app/web_services_country_usage
I have not tried it myself though.
Hey,
Yes I worked for an organization that used this: http://www.iso.org/iso/country_codes/iso_3166_code_lists/english_country_names_and_code_elements.htm for countries; there are other sources too that are valid that I can't currently find. There are state code lists but I haven't seen city. I've not seen any web services offerings; the one listed below was news to me...
We typically attempted to standardize with these codes, loaded them into a database, and even had a central database with these values that other DB's referenced too.
HTH.
