ASP.NET DropDropdownList of States

Since it is difficult to find a code snippet of a dropdownlist control populated with a list of all 50 U.S. states, I have decided to add the one I just created here, for future reference. I am sure that others are looking for a dropdown containing a list of states. Enjoy.

 

<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlState" runat="server">
    <asp:ListItem Value="AL">Alabama</asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem Value="AK">Alaska</asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem Value="AZ">Arizona</asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem Value="AR">Arkansas</asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem Value="CA">California</asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem Value="CO">Colorado</asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem Value="CT">Connecticut</asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem Value="DE">Delaware</asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem Value="FL">Florida</asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem Value="GA">Georgia</asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem Value="HI">Hawaii</asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem Value="ID">Idaho</asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem Value="IL">Illinois</asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem Value="IN">Indiana</asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem Value="IA">Iowa</asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem Value="KS">Kansas</asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem Value="KY">Kentucky</asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem Value="LA">Louisiana</asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem Value="ME">Maine</asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem Value="MD">Maryland</asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem Value="MA">Massachusetts</asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem Value="MI">Michigan</asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem Value="MN">Minnesota</asp:ListItem>

Just because they seceded from the Union doesn't make them a nation, officially.
