How to Count number of visitors visit to website/page in asp.net

Introduction: In this article I will try to explain how we can count the visitors visit the website/pages in asp.net.

Description:

Add a Global.asax file to project. You see the file as mention in attached snapshot:

Now write the below given code in Global.asax file:

<%@ Application Language="C#" %>

<%@ Import Namespace="System.Data" %>

<%@ Import Namespace="System.Configuration" %>

<%@ Import Namespace="System.Web.SessionState" %>

<%@ Import Namespace="System.Web.Security" %>

<%@ Import Namespace="System.Collections" %>

<script runat="server">

    void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)

    {

        // Code that runs on application startup  

    }

   

    void Application_End(object sender, EventArgs e)

    {

        //  Code that runs on application shutdown

    }

       

    void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e)

    {

        // Code that runs when an unhandled error occurs

     

    }

    void Session_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)

    {

        // Code that runs when a new session is started

        UserVisitCount();

        DataSet ds = new DataSet();

        try

        {

            ds.ReadXml(Server.MapPath("~/CountVisitor.xml"));

        }

        catch (System.IO.FileNotFoundException)

        {

            throw;

        }

        catch

        {

            //Don't throw

        }

        //Session

        Session["hits"] = ds.Tables[0].Rows[0]["hits"].ToString();

    }

    void Session_End(object sender, EventArgs e)

    {

        // Code that runs when a session ends.

        // Note: The Session_End event is raised only when the sessionstate mode

        // is set to InProc in the Web.config file. If session mode is set to StateServer

        // or SQLServer, the event is not raised.

      

    }

    private void UserVisitCount()

        {

            try

            {

                DataSet ds = new DataSet();

                ds.ReadXml(Server.MapPath("~/CountVisitor.xml"));

                int hits = Int32.Parse(ds.Tables[0].Rows[0]["hits"].ToString());

                hits += 1;

                ds.Tables[0].Rows[0]["hits"] = hits.ToString();

                ds.WriteXml(Server.MapPath("~/CountVisitor.xml"));

            }

            catch (System.IO.FileNotFoundException)

            {

                throw;

            }

            catch

            {

                //Don't throw

            }

        }

         

</script>

Add a XML file to project. Here I add XML and keep its name CountVisitor.xml and add below mention code:

<counter>

  <count>

    <hits>0</hits>

  </count>

</counter>

After that now go to Page that you want to Track for Pageviews. Here I add a Label control to display pageviews. Now go to .aspx.cs page write the below mention code:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

    {

        if (!IsPostBack)

        {

            lblpage.Text = "Visitor Count= "+ Convert.ToInt32(Session["hits"].ToString());

        }

    }

In VB (.aspx.vb)

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

        If Not IsPostBack Then

  lblpage.Text = "Visitor Count= " & Convert.ToInt32(Session("hits").ToString())

        End If

    End Sub

Now build, run the project and check the result.
