With this tool which is written for ASP.NET, it is possible to count the number of online users, members and guest users in web sites.
Installation
The tool installation is very simple and only takes a few minutes.
Step one - Add Reference:
After downloading the attachment, you should add a reference to the project. If you know how to add references please skip this step.
To add the reference, right click on your solution and select "Add Reference" from the menu. Then select the "OnlineActiveUsers.dll" file. Now the reference is added to the solution.
Step two - Change configuration:
Open the "Web.config" file from your project (If this file is absent, right click on your project and from "Add new item", select "Web configuration file"). Then add this code on "web.config" file.
<httpModules>
<add name="OnlineActiveUsers" type="OnlineActiveUsers.OnlineUsersModule"/>
</httpModules>
Note that this code should be placed between "system.web" tags.
Step three - Add some code to global.asax:
Open the "global.asax" file in your project (If this file is absent, right click on your project and from "Add new item", select "Global Application Class"). In the "session_end" event add this code:
OnlineActiveUsers.OnlineUsersInstance.OnlineUsers.UpdateForUserLeave()
If the project is C# the result should be like this:
void Session_End(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
OnlineActiveUsers.OnlineUsersInstance.OnlineUsers.UpdateForUserLeave();
}
After now the tool will count user statistics.
