Bind All Countries in Dropdownlist in Asp.net using C#( System.Globalization)

Here I will explain how to bind all countries in dropdownlist in asp.net using c#(System.Globalization)

 Default.aspx :

 <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head id="Head1" runat="server">
    <title>Bind all countries in dropdownlist in asp.net(c#)</title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        <b>Country:</b><asp:DropDownList ID="ddlCountry" runat="server" />
    </div>
    </form>
</body>

</html>

Default.aspx.cs :

 add following namespaces in code behind

 using System.Collections.Generic;

  protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
             if (!IsPostBack)
            {
                List<string> objcountries = new List<string>();
                CultureInfo[] objCultureInfo = CultureInfo.GetCultures(CultureTypes.SpecificCultures);
                foreach (CultureInfo getcultureinfo in objCultureInfo)
                {
                    RegionInfo objRegionInfo = new RegionInfo(getcultureinfo.LCID);
                    if (!(objcountries.Contains(objRegionInfo.EnglishName)))
                    {
                        objcountries.Add(objRegionInfo.EnglishName);
                    }
                }
                objcountries.Sort();
                ddlCountry.DataSource = objcountries;
                ddlCountry.DataBind();
            }

  }
