Answer 1

The prompt you're seeing is shown when a site uses the Geolocation API. It's all JavaScript, so you don't need any kind of server support to use it. If you want the values on the server side, you can send them back using XMLHttpRequest or a simple form post.

Here's a demo with easy to read source code as well.

Answer 2

Use the regular HTML5 Geolocation tools to get the location and then use AJAX to send the location back to your ASP.NET Server Side code and update whatever client elements are necessary.
