The Location object found in JavaScript does not exist in C#, nor does it grant access to web browser current document URLs. Different implementation methods exist to track location and handle URLs in C#. The specific method depends on the application type.

ASP.NET Core web applications allow you to retrieve the current URL through HttpContext.Request. 
 

string currentUrl = $"{Request.Scheme}://{Request.Host}{Request.Path}{Request.QueryString}";

Web application tracking enables users to monitor their inside web navigation flow.

Using WinForms/WPF desktop applications you can launch URLs through the Process.Start method to open them in the system default web browser.

Process.Start(new ProcessStartInfo
{
   FileName = "https://example.com",
   UseShellExecute = true
});

To access geolocation services C# does not provide native functionality for getting user physical positions yet developers can integrate APIs from ipinfo.io or GeoIP or Google Maps API to obtain location data from IP address information.

Blazor Web Assembly enables browser location access through the JavaScript Interop (IJSRuntime). Every system that must track its location requires the combination of Windows API functions or GPS hardware integration.
