use this var userAgent = HttpContext.Request.Headers[ "User-Agent" ]; var uaParser = Parser.GetDefault(); ClientInfo c = uaParser.Parse(userAgent); string browser=c.UA.Family + " " + c.UA.Major + "." + c.UA.Minor; Note:- include this using statement in your controller using UAParser;

To my knowledge, there is no specific datatype for storing ip address. I believe string in C# and varchar on database side should be fine. If you want to be bit more imaginative, you can create a structure with 4 byte properties on C# side and implement .ToString() and .Parse() and .TryParse() methods.

Apparently, there is indeed a class for this https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.net.ipaddress?view=net-6.0

To establish the actual name of the user's Web browser, you can use the navigator. appName and navigator. userAgent properties . The userAgent property is more reliable than appName because, for example, Firefox or Opera may return the string "Netscape" as the value of navigator. var nVer = navigator.appVersion; var nAgt = navigator.userAgent; var browserName = navigator.appName; var fullVersion = ''+parseFloat(navigator.appVersion); var majorVersion = parseInt(navigator.appVersion,10); var nameOffset,verOffset,ix; // In Opera 15+, the true version is after "OPR/" if ((verOffset=nAgt.indexOf("OPR/"))!=-1) { browserName = "Opera"; fullVersion = nAgt.substring(verOffset+4); } // In older Opera, the true version is after "Opera" or after "Version" else if ((verOffset=nAgt.indexOf("Opera"))!=-1) { browserName = "Opera"; fullVersion = nAgt.substring(verOffset+6); if ((verOffset=nAgt.indexOf("Version"))!=-1) fullVersion = nAgt.substring(verOffset+8); } // In MSIE, the true version is after "MSIE" in userAgent else if ((verOffset=nAgt.indexOf("MSIE"))!=-1) { browserName = "Microsoft Internet Explorer"; fullVersion = nAgt.substring(verOffset+5); } // In Chrome, the true version is after "Chrome" else if ((verOffset=nAgt.indexOf("Chrome"))!=-1) { browserName = "Chrome"; fullVersion = nAgt.substring(verOffset+7); } // In Safari, the true version is after "Safari" or after "Version" else if ((verOffset=nAgt.indexOf("Safari"))!=-1) { browserName = "Safari"; fullVersion = nAgt.substring(verOffset+7); if ((verOffset=nAgt.indexOf("Version"))!=-1) fullVersion = nAgt.substring(verOffset+8); } // In Firefox, the true version is after "Firefox" else if ((verOffset=nAgt.indexOf("Firefox"))!=-1) { browserName = "Firefox"; fullVersion = nAgt.substring(verOffset+8); } // In most other browsers, "name/version" is at the end of userAgent else if ( (nameOffset=nAgt.lastIndexOf(' ')+1) ' +'Full version = '+fullVersion+' ' +'Major version = '+majorVersion+' ' +'navigator.appName = '+navigator.appName+' ' +'navigator.userAgent = '+navigator.userAgent+' ' )
