Hi,

 

you can follow these approaches .

 

1. Call third party free webservice and bind the data to your ddl and textbox

 

This is a free webservice available. 

  http://www.webservicex.net/country.asmx?op=GetISD 

 

 But the downside of this approach is that you don't have control over availability of webservice.so you may find it inaccessible at times.

 

2. Create your own table in Database and bind it to ddl and textbox.

 

you can get the desired data here

 

https://countrycode.org/ 

 

this is a preffered approach  as you have control over your own table

 

3. This link will give you country code data in Json format.So your work become even more easier as you dont need any DB calls.

Just bind the values to your control.
