How to get the geographic location using IP Address in asp.net mvc

I know that this code:

string ipAddress = Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"];
        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(ipAddress))
        {
            ipAddress = Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"];
        }

will give me the IP Address of the user but I don't know how to get the location of the user

I want to know the location and related information on basis of IP Address.
