10.4.1 Method Details

10.4.1.1 Get
The Get method takes the name of a counter and returns the current value of the counter. If the counter doesn't exist, the method creates it and sets it to 0.
10.4.1.2 Increment
The Increment method takes the name of a counter, adds 1 to the current value of the counter, and returns the counter's new value. If the counter doesn't exist, the method creates it and sets its value to 1.
Example:
Increment the value of a counter with <% Counters.Increment(CounterName) %>. Increment and display the value of a counter with <%= Counters.Increment(CounterName) %>.
To retrieve the value of a counter, use Counters.Get. To set a counter to a specific value, use Counters.Set.
The following code implements a one-line page-hit counter.
<P>There have been <%= Counters.Increment("hits") %> visits to this Web page. </P>
In this example, Counters.Increment increases the counter by one each time the client requests the page from the server.
10.4.1.3 Remove
The Remove method takes the name of a counter, removes the counter from the Counters object, and deletes the counter from the Counters.txt file.
10.4.1.4 Set
The Set method takes the name of a counter and an integer, sets the counter to the value of the integer, and returns the new value. If the counter doesn't exist, Counters.Set creates it and sets it to the value of the integer.
