How to get the users IP Address in C#.NET?

When you search this on your favourite search engine, (Google) you will get flooded by load of different way to get the end result. This is great in a sense as you know there are thousands of people with different answers, but then that is where the problem is at. There are so many single responses to how you can get the users IP Address in C#.NET, but not one that shows you everything. Therefore I will present to you below different methods to get the users IP and how I have implemented it in a project.

Kentico the mule of development

Over my time of working with such a CMS called Kentico I have found some pro’s and con’s of this mode of working, so I wanted to share my thoughts of if it is a favourable idea to be working on these CMS’

Learn a Framework not a Language

I listened to a podcast that said you should learn a coding framework first not a language.

Accessible Table Generator

However they are not developer and do not know what they are doing, that’s why I build an Accessible Table Generator for the Editors at my work.
