Get IP address / hostname from asp.net page

[markknowsley]

Is it possible to write some C# that will pick up the ip address / hostname of the user who is accessing the web form?

This article has a lot of information on tracking users to your site.

Read further down the page for the explanation regarding ASP.Net rather than logs.

(Note, this is in VB.Net, but can easily be converted)

Just FYI, getting the host name at runtime can cause your application to fail if the DNS lookup fails.

It is much better to log the IP and look it up later, when the user isn't waiting for your page to respond.

Which could also not be very helpful in case they use DHCP . It would help to track it only per session.
