Places

Place data is contained within WorldPlace instances and is mostly used in the Pick place from list and related, country-specific masking activities.

Each WorldPlace instance contains data concerning places and their respective regions (e.g. county, state, etc.) and contains the following information:

Place - Place name
ZipCode - ZIP code of the place
Region1 - Level one region
Region2 - Level two region
Region3 - Level three region
Country - Country code

Below are a few examples:

Place	ZipCode	Region1	Region2	Region3	Country
Lancaster	01523	Massachusetts	Worcester	-	US
High Springs	32643	Florida	Alachua	-	US
Venus	76084	Texas	Johnson	-	US
Landshut	84030	Bayern	Niederbayern	Landshut	DE
Tenerife	475050	Magdalena	-	-	CO

A collection of all WorldPlace instances can be accessed with PickLists.WorldPlaces, an IEnumerable collection. In addition to the standard methods the Enumerable type offers, you can also use the following filtering methods:

OnlyPlaceNames() - Returns only place names, without ZIP codes, regions and country codes, in string format
PickLists.WorldPlaces.OnlyPlaceNames()
OnlyZipCodes() - Returns only ZIP codes, without place names, regions and country codes, in string format
PickLists.WorldPlaces.OnlyZipCodes()
OnlyCountry(string country) - Returns places from the country represented by the given country code
PickLists.WorldPlaces.OnlyCountry("US")
