Easiest Way to Make ASP.NET Application Location Aware?

Question

What is the quickest way to make my ASP.NET application location aware? I have seen some API examples that are in C++ and not able to load into an ASP.NET application. Are there other ways to go about this? I just need to be able to get a general location of my users (city level or lower). Getting a ZIP code would be ideal.
