asked on

ASP.NET web page to detect users IP, then redirect to another web page based on that

Hello,
I'm looking for a working default.aspx/default.aspx.cs in ASP.NET for a page which gets the visiting users IP and if it falls within these IP range the user is redirected to a URL, if it falls outside of these IP range then the user is forwarded to a different URL.

Get Users IP

Is the Users IP in the range e.g. 10.1.0.0 to 10.6.255.255

If yes, redirect to http://www.yahoo.com

else

redirect to http://www.msn.com

Any help with this will be appreciated, i'm useless at programming and need all the help i can get ASAP.

Thanks!

at the very top of your code, add:
imports system.text.regularexpressions

then in page_load:

Dim userIPs String = HttpContext.Current.Request.UserHostAddress

if regex.ismatch(userIPs , "\b10\.[1-6]\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\b")
then
response.redirect("http://www.yahoo.com")
else
response.redirect("http://www.msn.com")
end if

That should work,

that is the code behind page and here is the default.aspx page (We are not allowed to email material, has to be posted at all times)

You do not need anything on this page as it is just for redirecting, but here is the page anyway. Just change the values in the code above which is the default.aspx.cs page, i.e. the code behind page. Here is the default.aspx page

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<form id="form1" runat="server">

</form>

</body>
</html>

Now you have two files

default.aspx.cs
default.aspx

default.aspx.cs is the code I posted you

default.aspx is the blank page that is in my LAST post

thats it. I tested this and it works a treat

no problem, glad to help. I have never done an IP range Validator before, so I enjoyed this :-)
