For large projects I usually databind my dropdown lists, but sometimes you just need a no-nonsense dropdown list of US States. For all you folks Googling to save time, here’s that code. Enjoy! 
<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownListState" 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="DC">District of Columbia</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> <asp:ListItem Value="MS">Mississippi</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem Value="MO">Missouri</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem Value="MT">Montana</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem Value="NE">Nebraska</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem Value="NV">Nevada</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem Value="NH">New Hampshire</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem Value="NJ">New Jersey</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem Value="NM">New Mexico</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem Value="NY">New York</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem Value="NC">North Carolina</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem Value="ND">North Dakota</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem Value="OH">Ohio</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem Value="OK">Oklahoma</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem Value="OR">Oregon</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem Value="PA">Pennsylvania</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem Value="RI">Rhode Island</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem Value="SC">South Carolina</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem Value="SD">South Dakota</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem Value="TN">Tennessee</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem Value="TX">Texas</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem Value="UT">Utah</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem Value="VT">Vermont</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem Value="VA">Virginia</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem Value="WA">Washington</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem Value="WV">West Virginia</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem Value="WI">Wisconsin</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem Value="WY">Wyoming</asp:ListItem> </asp:DropDownList>
