Hello,
I am looking for a .Net code which finds location information (country ,
city, streetname, postcode) for a specific IP-address.
Maybe there is webservice to do this. It is also can be usefull.
Best Regards.
Cihan said:Thank you very much for your helps guys.
I have used this code and it is working fine. for your informations.
public class LocationInfo
{
public float Latitude { get; set; }
public float Longitude { get; set; }
public string CountryName { get; set; }
public string CountryCode { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
}
public LocationInfo GetLocationInfo(string ipParam)
{
LocationInfo result = null;
IPAddress i = System.Net.IPAddress.Parse(ipParam);
string ip = i.ToString();
string r;
using (var w = new WebClient())
{
r =
w.DownloadString(String.Format("http://api.hostip.info/?ip={0}&position=true",
ip));
}
var xmlResponse = XDocument.Parse(r);
var gml = (XNamespace)"http://www.opengis.net/gml";
var ns = (XNamespace)"http://www.hostip.info/api";
try
{
result = (from x in xmlResponse.Descendants(ns +
"Hostip")
select new LocationInfo
{
CountryCode = x.Element(ns +
"countryAbbrev").Value,
CountryName = x.Element(ns +
"countryName").Value,
Latitude = float.Parse(x.Descendants(gml
+ "coordinates").Single().Value.Split(',')[0]),
Longitude = float.Parse(x.Descendants(gml
+ "coordinates").Single().Value.Split(',')[1]),
Name = x.Element(gml + "name").Value
}).SingleOrDefault();
}
catch (NullReferenceException)
{
//Looks like we didn't get what we expected.
}
return result;
}

Scott said:IP's don't represent the information you want. IP's are blocks of numbers
that are assigned to ISP's to then assign to their customers.
Mark said:As has already been correctly pointed out, this is an almost pointless
exercise.
Scott said:I don't see how you can say that. I have a static IP provided by my ISP and
if I wanted to use it on a machine at my vacation home in another state, I
could.
Just because an IP is issued in a certain locale, doesn't mean it will be
used in that locale.
And, there is nothing in the IP that identifies your city, street and house
number (which the OP says he wants).
ensures.Scott said:Forgive my ignorance on this, but my understanding is that when an ISP needs
to "route" a message to an IP, they do not need to do anything special
(anything that relates to a physical location), they simply need to make
sure that the packets are addressed correctly, which is what TCP/IP
Given this, what difference does it make if I pack up my machine and take it
to my vacation home? The IP would still be the same (remember, I'm talking
about static IP's), so my machine would still respond when a message is
broadcast to it.
