<SiteCounters /> ASP.NET 2.0

[Van den Driessche Willy]

I have a book on ASP.BET beta 2
(http://www.amazon.com/ASP-NET-Beta-Version-Microsoft-Development/dp/0321257
278/sr=8-3/qid=1158580459/ref=sr_1_3/102-2046896-5800955?ie=UTF8&s=books).
There is a section about sitecounters, which can be configured in
web.config.

Apparently this feature didn't make it into the final release. Is there a
similar technlogy which did make it into ASP.NET 2.0 ?

Tx.

Nothing directly, but creating a site counter is not that difficult. You
need to

a) load the counter on app start
b) save the counter back on app end

For a better counter, you save after each increment, to continue even with
catestrophic events.

In fact, the SiteCounters section contained a <Pages> section in which you
could specify which pages to count. It was not counting the number of
application startups, rather the hits for each page.
I know I can program this myself by adding code in each and every page. I
would have preferred the solution offered by the beta, where - without
coding a single line - I could get usage statistics on all pages in the web
application, grouped by hour or by day etc...

But thanks for the reply.
