Solution 2

If your site uses Session for each user (i.e, login), then you can place the persistance logic in

C#

Global.asax/Session_start

method.

If you are not using it, then you can create a base class and have the logic there.
So for pages where you want this functionality inherit from base page instead of inheriting from System.Web.UI.Page.

In Global.asax/session_start we can place the string ipaddress;
ipaddress = Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"];
if (ipaddress == "" || ipaddress == null)
ipaddress = Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"];

and where we are storing the ipaddress in the database

Suppose you want to get details of users who visited the contact page in your website. Then,in Page_Load event of the contact page just put the single line as below:

C#

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
     if (!IsPostBack)
     {
           string ip = Server.HtmlEncode(Request.UserHostAddress);
     }
}

This will give you ip as a string. You can insert it into database wherever you want.

Note:

You will get 127.0.0.1 every time if you run it from localhost.
