Determine client's location??

[Laszlo Csabi]

Anybody knows how can I determine client's location on an ASP.NET page?

This snippet will get the browser's default location:

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture =
CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(Request.UserLanguages(0))
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = New
CultureInfo(Request.UserLanguages(0))

Hope this helps.

What do you mean by location?
Check out System.Globalization, that may help you, if I'm correct in
assuming that you mean country, etc.

There are commercial controls that will try to determine the location of the
ISP:

There is a web service at http://www.cdyne.com/web-services.aspx that will
resolve an IP address to an owner.

But this is a pretty crude tool, since, for example, if the person comes in
through Sprint, AOL, or such you will not get a very meaningful location.

Thanks for the link.

Yes, it is at best a stab in the dark try to associate an IP with the
geographical location of the computer. I'm not even sure that this is what
the poster really means by "location".
