Testers requested for ASP.NET control
-
Ok, I've knocked up a quick ASP.NET server control to allow users to select their country. But with a twist, it uses the Geo IP database to determine the visitor's country and that's then selected for them. http://www.oobaloo.co.uk/CountryListBox/[^] It'd be great if as many people as possible can give it a go and see how they get on. I've tested it successfully from the UK, and also using an anonymous proxy to return US. -- Paul "If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation." - David Brent, from "The Office" MS Messenger: paul@oobaloo.co.uk Sonork: 100.22446
Works fine here too!!! Best Regards Venkatraman Kalyanam Chennai - India "Being Excellent is not a skill, it is an attitude"

D'oh. Of course your control's working properly. The time I came to your site I was logged on to my company in Germany via VPN... :suss: Sorry for inconvenience :-O Regards Thomas Sonork id: 100.10453 Thömmi

I'm going to clean it up a bit tonight and then write a short article on it -- the actual implementation of the control is extremely simple, the majority of the work is handled by code from MaxMind.
