How many times have you felt like you are just re-inventing the wheel as you code? You have to look up ISO standards, ask Google questions to find your answer and sometimes you just have to create something from scratch. I felt this way when I needed to add countries, states and/or provinces to my current project.
I found an answer on StackOverflow and wanted to share it with you here. So what we need is something that will allow us to work with US States. Joe Pool (the author of the StackOverflow question above) created a class to help with this. I made some minor modifications to his code:
public class StateArray
{
public List<USState> states;
public StateArray()
{
states = new List<USState>(50);
states.Add(new USState("AL", "Alabama"));
states.Add(new USState("AK", "Alaska"));
states.Add(new USState("AZ", "Arizona"));
states.Add(new USState("AR", "Arkansas"));
states.Add(new USState("CA", "California"));
states.Add(new USState("CO", "Colorado"));
states.Add(new USState("CT", "Connecticut"));
states.Add(new USState("DE", "Delaware"));
states.Add(new USState("DC", "District Of Columbia"));
states.Add(new USState("FL", "Florida"));
states.Add(new USState("GA", "Georgia"));
states.Add(new USState("HI", "Hawaii"));
states.Add(new USState("ID", "Idaho"));
states.Add(new USState("IL", "Illinois"));
states.Add(new USState("IN", "Indiana"));
states.Add(new USState("IA", "Iowa"));
states.Add(new USState("KS", "Kansas"));
states.Add(new USState("KY", "Kentucky"));
states.Add(new USState("LA", "Louisiana"));
states.Add(new USState("ME", "Maine"));
states.Add(new USState("MD", "Maryland"));
states.Add(new USState("MA", "Massachusetts"));
states.Add(new USState("MI", "Michigan"));
states.Add(new USState("MN", "Minnesota"));
states.Add(new USState("MS", "Mississippi"));
states.Add(new USState("MO", "Missouri"));
states.Add(new USState("MT", "Montana"));
states.Add(new USState("NE", "Nebraska"));
states.Add(new USState("NV", "Nevada"));
states.Add(new USState("NH", "New Hampshire"));
states.Add(new USState("NJ", "New Jersey"));
states.Add(new USState("NM", "New Mexico"));
states.Add(new USState("NY", "New York"));
states.Add(new USState("NC", "North Carolina"));
states.Add(new USState("ND", "North Dakota"));
states.Add(new USState("OH", "Ohio"));
states.Add(new USState("OK", "Oklahoma"));
states.Add(new USState("OR", "Oregon"));
states.Add(new USState("PA", "Pennsylvania"));
states.Add(new USState("RI", "Rhode Island"));
states.Add(new USState("SC", "South Carolina"));
states.Add(new USState("SD", "South Dakota"));
states.Add(new USState("TN", "Tennessee"));
states.Add(new USState("TX", "Texas"));
states.Add(new USState("UT", "Utah"));
states.Add(new USState("VT", "Vermont"));
states.Add(new USState("VA", "Virginia"));
states.Add(new USState("WA", "Washington"));
states.Add(new USState("WV", "West Virginia"));
states.Add(new USState("WI", "Wisconsin"));
states.Add(new USState("WY", "Wyoming"));
}
public string[] Abbreviations()
{
List<string> abbrevList = new List<string>(states.Count);
foreach (var state in states)
{
abbrevList.Add(state.Abbreviations);
}
return abbrevList.ToArray();
}
public string[] Names()
{
List<string> nameList = new List<string>(states.Count);
foreach (var state in states)
{
nameList.Add(state.Name);
}
return nameList.ToArray();
}
public USState[] States()
{
return states.ToArray();
}
}
public class USState
{
public USState()
{
Name = null;
Abbreviations = null;
}
public USState(string ab, string name)
{
Name = name;
Abbreviations = ab;
}
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Abbreviations { get; set; }
public override string ToString()
{
return string.Format("{0} - {1}", Abbreviations, Name);
}
}
I also needed a country version and, using similar structure as above, created this:
public class WorldCountry
{
public WorldCountry()
{
Name = null;
Alpha2Code = null;
Alpha3Code = null;
NumericCode = null;
Enabled = false;
}
public WorldCountry(string name, string alpha2Code, string alpha3Code, string numericCode, bool enabled)
{
Name = name;
Alpha2Code = alpha2Code;
Alpha3Code = alpha3Code;
NumericCode = numericCode;
Enabled = enabled;
}
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Alpha2Code { get; set; }
public string Alpha3Code { get; set; }
public string NumericCode { get; set; }
public bool Enabled { get; set; }
public override string ToString()
{
//Returns "USA - United States"
return string.Format("{0} - {1}", Alpha3Code, Name);
}
}
public class CountryArray
{
public List<WorldCountry> countries;
public CountryArray()
{
countries = new List<WorldCountry>(50);
