in PHP, I can know these info for the visitor: IP Address. IP HostName. Natted IP Address. Natted IP HostName. User-Agent (Web Browser, OS version, framework, infopath, etc...) Web REQUEST. Web Referrer. Language. DateTime. How can I know that in asp.net? And what additional info can I know using asp.net? And how can I know if the visitor have special software installed?

My code:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
String userHost = Request.UserHostName
}
This is fetching the IP address alright, but now I want to know the country of the visitor and USE that country name to redirect the visitor to some webpage accordingly.
I came across this library but have no clue how to use it in the project. Actually I do, but I am not sure so I am asking.

When I download from the above the ZIP folder has a DLL file and an XML file. Now, what do I do with these two? Like include in the project. Then what do I type in the code file?
Something like the following.
if (countryName=="France")
{
response.redirect("www.mysite.fr") [code]....
How do I go about it? Also do I really need to type SO many if blocks for ALL the countries. How do I shorten this code?
I'm building an ASP.NET MVC 2 site where I'm currently implementing an OpenID sign-up form. Unfortunately, I'm foreseeing a possible security bug/vulnerability inside my architecture.
Here's how I want OpenID login to work:
User requests /Account/Login, Controller sends back OpenIDLogin View. User enters their OpenID into the View, then OpenID authorization takes place, and finally the OpenID is returned to the Controller.The Controller checks whether the OpenID is currently in use by a user in the system or not. If it is, the user is logged in to that account. If not, the registration process begins.
And now, the OpenID registration process:
The OpenID identifier, as well as any other information provided by the OpenID provider (such as email address or name), is put into my custom ViewModel and sent to my OpenIDRegistrationForm View.The RegistrationForm View stores the OpenID in a hidden field to make sure that it gets sent back to the Controller.The user fills in the RegistrationForm View and sends it back to the Controller.The Controller creates the user account and puts the OpenID into the database.
The bug that I see within my architecture is that a user could modify the hidden value in the RegistrationForm View. Thus, they could spoof their OpenID! I will make sure to add another round of checking to the final Registration Controller Action to make sure that the OpenID that is provided doesn't exist yet, but there is still a possibility for spoofing. Can my architecture be improved somehow? I don't want this to end badly...
One solution I'm considering is encrypting the OpenID before I send it to the View and then decrypting it when it reaches the Controller. Should I try this?
I'm trying to write an application that allows a visitor to use our service for 7 days. After 7 days, they will no longer be able to use it unless they sign up. What's the best way and the most accurate way to track it without collecting their credit card information? I'm trying to use the following code to track visiotr's ip. But I'm not sure if people are able to change their ip address or using a proxy server that will go through.
HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"]
ow to understand whether the visitor is Googlebot or not ? ASP.net 4.0 & C# I mean i want to understand that if the visitor is Googlebot or not.
View 2 RepliesI created my own register system with my own register form together with the asp.net login control
the user register and the data is sent to my custom table and I used a method that check if the user exists in my table and the asp.net login control display the correct result "if exists or not"
everything appears to work correctly but I cannot access pages that deny anonymous users with the configuration file.
We are having two load balancing server. In that we have hosted a asp.net 3.5 application right now we are using request userhostaddress to get visitor ip but it is giving load balancer ip instead of real ip.
View 3 RepliesI'm facing with an old problem that it made me confuse very much. So I need your advice to make sure that I've been using the right way. My demand is to count the number of visitor in my website, so I've coded in Global.asax file:
[Code]....
Then, I used variable Application["SiteHitCounter"] and Application[CurrentUsers"] in another C# behind code file to show them on web page.The problem I'm facing is that the website can't show right total visitor number as in my database when I publish it to shared host.
I have an ASP.net/VB.net website, and I currently capture the visitor's IP address with the following code:
IPAddr = Page.Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR").
Does anyone know the corresponding code that can capture (1) the visitor's name (ID) and (2) location?
Note: I am trying to capture the true information from the visitor's computer, not false (proxy) information. As an example, the code:
"Page.Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR")" produces a false (proxy) IP address.

I want to create a web application using ASP.NET MVC 2.
For simplicity, let my scenario be as follows:
A visitor is allowed to submit a text file and get a pdf output from the server.
There is an Adobe-Acrobat-like application, that can convert text to pdf, running on my server.
My question is how to execute the converter such that each visitor submitting files cannot interfere with others?
Should I make an instance of the converter for each visitor?

I've written a .NET/jQuery rating script that allows users to rate a particular product.
Everyone that visits the website can rate, but I'd like to only allow 1 rating per visitor.
So far I've considered the following options.
1: Store the users IP address and only allow 1 submission per IP.
this would mean that people on corporate LAN's, Internet cafe's, public Wi-Fi's and such won't be able to vote after someone else has from the same location.
2: After voting, create a cookie in their browser that indicates they've voted.
This isn't a good solution either, since people using Private Browsing will be able to vote as many times as they like, OR a more advanced user will clear their cookies and keep submitting a vote over and over again.
