What is the quickest way to make my ASP.NET application location aware? I have seen some API examples that are in C++ and not able to load into an ASP.NET application. Are there other ways to go about this? I just need to be able to get a general location of my users (city level or lower). Getting a ZIP code would be ideal.

Try googleing for free GEOIP databases. Here is one: link text I've used these db's to get user's general area to determine what marketing is working for customers.
Good Luck!

The best idea would be GeoLocate the user to his country based on his IP. At the most, It is also possible to track-down the user to his city but the accuracy is always doubtful.You can find some information on this here.
