Just use a web service here is free one 10000 requests per hour

http://freegeoip.net/static/index.html

REST Call http://freegeoip.net/xml/[your ip]

EDIT

Simple code to download from a url

using (var objClient = new System.Net.WebClient())
{
    var strFile = objClient.DownloadString("http://freegeoip.net/xml/192.168.0.1");
}

Thanks! I think it would be helpful but i am new at API integration so would you please provide me complete code or some guide how to use it! – Bilal Haider Feb 20 '13 at 11:50
added some simple code you need to change the ip accordingly then process the result. – Dreamwalker Feb 20 '13 at 12:30
Good solution +1. But based on (freegeoip) *you're allowed up to 10,000 queries per hour by default.* I edited your post to fix the queries count. – Salah Akbari Jan 28 '17 at 11:32
