Get user location by IP address

Question

I have an ASP.NET website written in C#.

On this site I need to automatically show a start page based on the user\'s location.

Can I get name of user\'s city

Answer 1

IPInfoDB has an API that you can call in order to find a location based on an IP address.

For "City Precision", you call it like this (you'll need to register to get a free API key):

 http://api.ipinfodb.com/v2/ip_query.php?key=&ip=74.125.45.100&timezone=false

Here's an example in both VB and C# that shows how to call the API.
