    MaxMind Geolite city is free. If it is not good enough, you can apparently upgrade to a more accurate paid-version. I can’t speak for the quality of the paid version, as I have never used it.

    If you like your SQL, download the CSV version. Load it into your database of choice, and query away.

    The faster and space-efficient option is to download the file binary blob version of the same database, and then use the C# class to query it.

    Alternatively, I have found ipinfodb.com to be useful. Query is by simple HTTP GET. For example, to geolocate stackoverflow.com try:

    http://ipinfodb.com/ip_query.php?timezone=false&ip=69.59.196.211

    This will return an XML file containing latitude and longitude, that looks like:

    <Response>
  <Ip>69.59.196.211</Ip>
  <Status>OK</Status>
  <CountryCode>US</CountryCode>
  <CountryName>United States</CountryName>
  <RegionCode>41</RegionCode>
  <RegionName>Oregon</RegionName>
  <City>Corvallis</City>
  <ZipPostalCode>97333</ZipPostalCode>
  <Latitude>44.4698</Latitude>
  <Longitude>-123.343</Longitude>
</Response>

    Some VB.NET sample code is available at http://forum.ipinfodb.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=269
