 protected string GetUser_IP() { string VisitorsIPAddr = string.Empty; if (HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"] != null) { VisitorsIPAddr = HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"].ToString(); } else if (HttpContext.Current.Request.UserHostAddress.Length != 0) { VisitorsIPAddr = HttpContext.Current.Request.UserHostAddress; } return VisitorsIPAddr; }
