Where can I get a list of all countries/cities to populate a listbox? [closed]

Answer 1

You could take a look at either of these two for geographic data webservices. I would suggest letting the user input their location and then looking it up via these services, or you can download the data from geonames

(The GeoNames geographical database covers all countries and contains over eight million placenames that are available for download free of charge.)

Answer 2

Country list can be grabbed from:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states

But list of all cities of all countries, I think even if you can get that, it would be a bad options. Just let the user enter the city. Though you can have states of some big countries where your visitors are mainly from.
