Gets or sets the performance counter type of the custom counter.
public:
property System::Diagnostics::PerformanceCounterType CounterType { System::Diagnostics::PerformanceCounterType get(); void set(System::Diagnostics::PerformanceCounterType value); };
public System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounterType CounterType { get; set; }
member this.CounterType : System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounterType with get, set
Public Property CounterType As PerformanceCounterType
Property Value
A PerformanceCounterType that defines the behavior of the performance counter.
Exceptions
You have specified a type that is not a member of the PerformanceCounterType enumeration.
Examples
The following code example demonstrates how to get and set the CounterType property. This example creates two counters and sets their CounterType property by using different techniques. When the first counter is initialized, the CounterType data is passed to the constructor, whereas the second counter sets the property explicitly.
#using <System.dll>
using namespace System;
using namespace System::Diagnostics;
int main()
{
CounterCreationDataCollection^ myCol = gcnew CounterCreationDataCollection;
// Create two custom counter objects.
CounterCreationData^ myCounter1 = gcnew CounterCreationData( "Counter1","First custom counter",PerformanceCounterType::CounterDelta32 );
CounterCreationData^ myCounter2 = gcnew CounterCreationData;
// Set the properties of the 'CounterCreationData' Object*.
myCounter2->CounterName = "Counter2";
myCounter2->CounterHelp = "Second custom counter";
myCounter2->CounterType = PerformanceCounterType::NumberOfItemsHEX32;
// Add custom counter objects to CounterCreationDataCollection.
myCol->Add( myCounter1 );
myCol->Add( myCounter2 );
if ( PerformanceCounterCategory::Exists( "New Counter Category" ) )
PerformanceCounterCategory::Delete( "New Counter Category" );
// Bind the counters to a PerformanceCounterCategory.
PerformanceCounterCategory^ myCategory = PerformanceCounterCategory::Create( "New Counter Category", "Category Help", myCol );
Console::WriteLine( "Counter Information:" );
Console::WriteLine( "Category Name: {0}", myCategory->CategoryName );
for ( int i = 0; i < myCol->Count; i++ )
{
// Display the properties of the CounterCreationData objects.
Console::WriteLine( "CounterName : {0}", myCol[ i ]->CounterName );
Console::WriteLine( "CounterHelp : {0}", myCol[ i ]->CounterHelp );
Console::WriteLine( "CounterType : {0}", myCol[ i ]->CounterType );
}
}

myCol.Add(myCounter2);
