Increment it in session onstart

Save it back to whereever in application onend

well where are you going to store this variable? database, file?

[Paladine]

As you wanting to store this in the Database?

You could us an old CGI standard? Or you could do something like this website shows (writing to a text file).

or another example

Hi there,
I have given you the tools to do this. Give it a try and if you have specific problems I will help you with it. The code to do this is right there in the links I provided.

Another one method is this (not the most elegant):

1. Create a table to store the hit count in the database
2. Create a session variable for storage of the Hit Count
3. Connect to the database & retrieve the Hit Count Value from the table.
4. Increment the hit count value and then write back
to the database the updated value.
5. Place a Label control on the page to display the hit count value, and use the session variable to display the value.

Hope this helps.

FYI - a little effort goes a long way : http://www.asp101.com/samples/counter_db_aspx.asp

Hi,

1. Create one database named "Sample", create a new table called "visitorcount" and create one column called "visitorcount" as integer in sql server.

2. Then put one label called "Label1" in .aspx page

3. Put the follwing codings in your .cs page.

The code follows:

using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;

protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label Label1;
public int count;
SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection("database=sample;user=sa;password=sa");

private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{

string strqry = "select visitorcount from visitorcount";

connection.Open();

SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(strqry,connection);

SqlDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader();

if (reader.Read())
{

count = Convert.ToInt32(reader.GetValue(0));

Label1.Text = count.ToString();

count = count+1;
}

reader.Close();

string strUpdateqry = "update visitorcount set visitorcount=" +count;

SqlCommand command1 = new SqlCommand(strUpdateqry,connection);

command1.ExecuteNonQuery();

Label1.Text = count.ToString();
}

I hope this will be very clear to u.

go to Global.asax
write this codein application_start()

Dim i As Integer
i = Application("hitcount")
Application.Lock()
i = i + 1
Application("hitcount") = i + 1
Application.UnLock()

This Application("hitcount") varible is used to count no of users who visited ur site.
if any problem contact me

[campkev]

Instead of hitting the db twice, you can increase the count with one query
"update TheTable SET visitorcount = visitorcount+1"

Hi,

1. Create one database named "Sample", create a new table called "visitorcount" and create one column called "visitorcount" as integer in sql server.

2. Then put one label called "Label1" in .aspx page

string strqry = "select visitorcount from visitorcount";

connection.Open();

SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(strqry,connection);

SqlDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader();

if (reader.Read())
{

count = Convert.ToInt32(reader.GetValue(0));

Label1.Text = count.ToString();

count = count+1;
}

reader.Close();

string strUpdateqry = "update visitorcount set visitorcount=" +count;

SqlCommand command1 = new SqlCommand(strUpdateqry,connection);

command1.ExecuteNonQuery();

Label1.Text = count.ToString();

Use Global.asax file and add this

Sub Application_Start(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
        Application("OnlineUsers") = 0
    End Sub
    
    Sub Session_Start(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
        Application("OnlineUsers") += 1
    End Sub

    Sub Session_End(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
        Application("OnlineUsers") -= 1
    End Sub

You need add this in your web.config (in system.web tag):

<sessionState mode="InProc" cookieless="false" timeout="60" />

If you want it in database just place Subroutine in these events like:

Sub Session_Start(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
        [B]AddOnlineUser()[/B]
    End Sub

Where AddOnlineUser() is saome public subroutine for manipulatig data.
