    Countries missing in Country Picker

    Questions/Suggestions

    Hi,

    I noticed there were some countries missing from the countries list. Most notably my own, Suriname. Is this an ommision on you part or has it been left out intentionally?
    But more importantly: where can I update this list to include my country?

    I'm using version 3.0 BTW.

    Regards.

    Hi Giovanni,

    Thanks for your feedback, much appreciated.

    The Country Picker dropdown is populated by the countries listed in .NET Framework's globalization settings - which has a limited set of countries (I believe it displays 110 of the 249 from the ISO 3166-1 list).

    Your options are:

    * Create a Custom Culture on your system (and web-server) - this can get very complicated, not recommended unless you *know* what you're doing.

    * Try to get a list of all ISO-3166-1 countries in a database and use the uComponents SQL DropDownList data-type.

    Failing those... let me know, we might be able to do something for a future uComponents release... but that would be a couple of months away.

    Good luck!

    Cheers, Lee.

    Hi Lee,

    Indeed, populating my own table with a list of countries and using the SQL dropdownlist is a good alternative. So simple, I almost feel stupid :D.

    Thanks for the help!

    Hi Giovanni,

    Definitely do not feel stupid!  You had a very good question... which I'm sure others will have in future - this topic is a good reference!

    Good luck with your solution/project.

    Thanks, Lee.
