Thanks all in advance! I use Visual Web Studio (Visual Basic.net) for
my web site. How can I use the following HTML list of countries within
my Visual Basic.net code to fill a DropDownBox I'm placing on my .aspx
page?

<select name="countryid" size="1" id="countryid" class="field_textbox"
size="50">
<option value="0">Select your country</option>

<option value="1">Afghanistan</option>
<option value="2">Albania</option>
<option value="3">Algeria</option>
<option value="4">American Samoa</option>

time or create a simple text file from which to populate your list?

This list would rarely change. I'm a newbie and happened upon this
html by looking at an existing website. So I thought - neat. Tell me
more about how to populate at design time. Also I tried a table in my
SQL database and dragged it over to my aspx in design view then was at
a loss as to what to do next. I did a rebuild and the page failed so I
didn't go further. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
