    ISO 3166-1 numeric codes

    Simon Dingley started this topic September 26, 2011 @ 05:32 , this topic was edited at: Monday, September 26, 2011 7:37 PM, Go directly to the topic solution

    Finishing up the first stages of the HSBC Payment Provider and I need to pass through the numeric country code to the service which is currently not available through the API or as far as I can tell the .Net Framework, only the alpha codes. 

    Looking for advice on the best way to implement this since I am sure they will not be the only payment provider using this method of country identification?

    Thanks, Simon

    I had a similar challenge when I did our license store. I ended up doing an extension method for country, which maps country codes from a lookup structure.

    Something you're willing to share? Is this something that may be included OOTB in the future?

    Thanks, Simon

    In my case my requirement was slightly different: I needed to figure out whether any given ISO code belongs to the EU, but the idea is the same.

    Here the extension I did:

    public static string GetCountryCode(this Country country)
{
	IDictionary<string, string> countryCodesInEu = new Dictionary<string, string>
		{
			{"Denmark", "DK"},
			{"Austria", "AT"},
			{"Belgium", "BG"},
			{"Cyprus", "CY"},
			{"Switzerland", "CZ"},
			{"Germany", "DE"},
			{"Estonia", "EE"},
			{"Spain", "ES"},
			{"Finland", "FI"},
			{"France", "FR"},
			{"United Kingdom", "GB"},
			{"Greece", "GR"},
			{"Hungary", "HU"},
			{"Ireland", "IE"},
			{"Italy", "IT"},
			{"Luxembourg", "LU"},
			{"Latvia", "LV"},
			{"Malta", "MT"},
			{"Netherlands", "NL"},
			{"Poland", "PL"},
			{"Portugal", "PT"},
			{"Romania", "RO"},
			{"Sweden", "SE"},
			{"Solvenia", "SI"},
			{"Solvakia", "SK"},
		};
	
	if (countryCodesInEu.Keys.Contains(country.Name))
		return countryCodesInEu[country.Name];

	return null;
}
