Solution 3

you need to write it XML or something, otherwise you lose total counts on any restart or anything.

Sample File opration to store counts(you can put it in Global.asax):

C#

public static int Visitors =0; //access this member whenever you need count.

  void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) 
  {
    LogVistorCount();
  }

  void Session_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) 
  {
    LogVistorCount();
  }

 private void LogVistorCount()
 {
       string strXmlCreateSample = "" +
                                                    "<counter>" +
                                                        "<count>" +
                                                          "<hits>" +
                                                          "</hits>" +
                                                        "</count>" +
                                                    "</counter>";
      
      string filepath = Server.MapPath("~/VistorsCount.xml");
      try
      {
           DataSet tmpDs = new DataSet();
           
          if(!System.IO.File.Exists(filepath)
          {
             XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
             doc.LoadXml(strXmlCreateSample);
             doc.Save(filepath);
          }
    
           tmpDs.ReadXml(filepath);
    
           int hits = Int32.Parse(tmpDs.Tables[0].Rows[0]["hits"].ToString());
    
           hits += 1;
           Visitors = hits;
           tmpDs.Tables[0].Rows[0]["hits"] = hits.ToString();
    
           tmpDs.WriteXml(filepath);
       }
       catch{}

  }

Yes,If server restarts we will loose data,Let us ignore this condition.I need to display correct count (let us take server wont restart or something else)

Thank you

You can always define a static member and increment it on each session/application start eg: public static int Visitors =0; You can always refer to this static member anytime.

Kuthuparakkal 27-Aug-12 7:25am

You cannot ignore two things even if you ignore server reboot:
change to the web.config or when the application has no current users. The two condition will clear Application["OnlineUsers"]...

Thank You..

Have a look on following thread:
http://www.aspdotnetfaq.com/Faq/How-to-show-number-of-online-users-visitors-for-ASP-NET-website.aspx[^]
Free hit counter[^]

Write code in global.asax file which interacts with the entire application.
The sample code is given below:

C#

void Application_OnStart(Object Sender, EventArgs E)
        {
            Application["CurrentUsers"] = 0;
        }
        void Session_OnStart(object Sender, EventArgs E)
        {
            Application.Lock();
            Application["CurrentUsers"] = System.Convert.ToInt32(Application["CurrentUsers"]) + 1;
            Application.UnLock();
        }
        void Session_OnEnd(object Sender, EventArgs E)
        {
            Application.Lock();
            Application["CurrentUsers"] = System.Convert.ToInt32(Application["CurrentUsers"]) - 1;
            Application.UnLock();
        }

Try this one:
global.asax file for that like

C#

void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        // Code that runs on application startup
        Application["OnlineUsers"]=0;

    }

C#

void Session_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
      // Code that runs when a new session is started
      Session["Users"] =Convert.ToInt32( Application["OnlineUsers"])+ 1;
      Application["OnlineUsers"] = Session["Users"];
  }

page load:

C++

Response.Write(Session["Users"].ToString());

Thank you,i have done the same, but it worked fine for some time.After some hours, Session_Start event fires on each page request on my website.

Why would this happen?

nika2008 30-Aug-12 2:16am

i am not sure how u open the txt file if u open it inside of Lock(); and UnLock();

i think is becose the reading the txt file is slow proccess and Application is much more faster then .txt reading and writte

try to do it outside of lock and unlock ; and dont update the txt file evry time i sugest u to do it evry 5 or 10 visitors.

sry if my english is bad
