Have you tried the CountryInfoor CountryInfoProvider?

CMS.Globalization.CountryInfo ci = CMS.Globalization.CountryInfoProvider.GetCountryInfo(245);
lbl.Text = ci.CountryName

That worked great - how about the state from the ID?

Same thing as Brenden had, but using the state class.

StateInfo si = StateInfoProvider.GetStateInfo(StateID); if (si != null) { lbl.Text = si.StateDisplayName; //You could use si.StateName too, but the display name will actually show up like "North Carolina" where the name would be NorthCarolina }

@Matt, a Kentico standard for the API is the object definition is listed as < ObjectName >Info. The data methods (CRUD) options are all static and can be accessed by < ObjectName >InfoProvider. So if you want to get a user object you can go something like this:

UserInfo ui = UserInfoProvider.GetUser(userId);
