"Upgraded" to ASP.NET 2.0 a.k.a. Whidbey

Published 20 years ago

Today I installed an early alpha release of ASP.NET 2.0, also known as Whidbey on my server. Yeah, yeah, I know. I shouldn't install beta stuff on my production servers, but I just couldn't resist it. I guess I'll have to live with the consequences (I am typing this message directly from the SQL Server Enterprise Manager because my Login functionality broke down ;-) )

Howto Create a Hit Counter Using a Text File in ASP.NET 1.x

Published 20 years ago

If you have a live Web site on the World Wide Web, you may be interested in how many people are visiting your site. You can of course analyze the log files of your Web server but that information is usually difficult to read. The log files contain information for each and every request a visitor has made to your site, including resources like images, Flash movies and so on. This makes it near impossible to extract information about individual users. It would be a lot easier if you could count the number of individual users that have visited you since you started your site. It would also be useful if you could see the number of users that are currently browsing your site.

This article will show you how to accomplish these two tasks by storing the hit counters in static variables in the Global class and in a text file using code in the Global.asax file. This article extends the ideas from a previous article where the values of the counters were just stored in static variables. By writing the counters to a file you can maintain their values, even when you restart the Web server.

There is also a Classic ASP version of this article available.

Howto Create a Hit Counter Using the Global.asax File in ASP.NET 1.x

If you have a live Web site on the World Wide Web, you may be interested in how many people are visiting your site. You can of course analyze the log files of your Web server but that information is usually difficult to read.

It would also be useful if you could see the number of users that are currently browsing your site.

This article will show you how to accomplish these two tasks by storing the hit counters in static variables using code in the Global.asax file. The disadvantage of this method is that this information is lost when you restart the Web server. Two other articles on this site demonstrate how to store this information in a text file and in a database, so the value for the counter will be preserved when you restart your Web server.
