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

It works from my ip. It detected that I'm Italian even if I cut my mustaches and hide my mandolin under the desk... -- Looking for a new screen-saver? Try FOYD: http://digilander.iol.it/FOYD

It detects the country based on an IP address database so it shouldn't be based on regional settings. Could you give me your IP address? (Privately if you don't want to publicise it :-D), I'll follow it up and see what I can dig out manually, it may well be that the address block is incorrectly registered in the database. Thanks for giving it a go (along with everybody else also -- response has been excellent :)). -- 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 for me! When do we get to see the sourcecode?! ;P

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. Anyway, I'll put it all in the article :) -- 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
