I need to get the numeric codes of ISO 3166-1 countries in C#.

Screenshot of table listing countries and their numeric codes

It seems with the RegionInfo class I can only get the Alpha2 and Alpha3 codes. Is it possible to get the ISO 3166-1 numeric codes in C#?

AFAIK, there's no such a information in the framework...well, maybe in some low-level API, though. However, why don't put the codes inside a text file and parse them by C# code? I done the same thing for the Alpha-2 codes.Recognizor

I've created a extension method for RegionInfo in order to retrieve the numeric value. It's similar to the solution mentioned by Dmitry Bychenko, but I need an extension method and I want a current version of the iso 3166 records:

            //usage
        RegionInfo regionInfo = new RegionInfo("US");
        int numericIsoCodeUS = regionInfo.NumericIsoCode();

Extension method class:

    using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Globalization;

namespace ISO3166_1Test
{
    public static class Iso3166Helper
    {
        private static Dictionary<string, int> Iso3166NumericDictionary { get; set; }
        /// <summary>
        /// This is an extension method for class RegionInfo
        /// It will return the ISO 3166-1 numeric value of a given RegionInfo
        /// 
        /// If there is no numeric value for a given regionInfo(e.g. Serbia and Montenegro (Former) or Caribbean), and exception will be thrown
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="regionInfo">The RegionInfo object used for the extension method</param>
        /// <returns>the numeric ISO 31666-1 value of a given RegionInfo </returns>
        public static int NumericIsoCode(this RegionInfo regionInfo)
        {
            if (!Iso3166NumericDictionary.ContainsKey(regionInfo.TwoLetterISORegionName))
            {
                throw new Exception(string.Format("There is no numeric value for regionInfo {0}", regionInfo.Name));
            }
            return Iso3166NumericDictionary[regionInfo.TwoLetterISORegionName];
        }
        static Iso3166Helper()
        {
            Iso3166NumericDictionary = new Dictionary<string, int>{
