Updating Country Codes and Region Codes
Commerce Server Core Systems does not provide a user interface for updating country codes and region codes. To update country codes and region codes, you must either create your own user interface or update the values directly in the SQL Server database.
If you write a program to display a user interface for business users to update country codes and region codes, your program should follow these steps:
Get the RegionCodeDataSet object that contains the country codes and region codes by calling the GetRegionCodes method of the OrderManagementContext object.
Display the country codes and region codes that the RegionCodeDataSet object contains.
Get changes to the country codes and region codes from the user.
Update the RegionCodes table in the TransactionConfig database by using the changes that the user provided.
The RegionCodes Table
The RegionCodes table in the TransactionConfig database contains the country codes and region codes that the site uses. The following table describes the columns in the RegionCodes table.
