Examples

The following code example shows how to create an empty instance of the CounterCreationData class. Because the example does not pass in any parameters, the CounterHelp, CounterName, and CounterType properties are not specified and must be defined later.

   CounterCreationData^ myCounter2 = gcnew CounterCreationData;

   myCounter2->CounterName = "Counter2";
   myCounter2->CounterHelp = "Second custom counter";

Initializes a new instance of the CounterCreationData class, to a counter of the specified type, using the specified counter name and Help strings.

public:
 CounterCreationData(System::String ^ counterName, System::String ^ counterHelp, System::Diagnostics::PerformanceCounterType counterType);
public CounterCreationData (string counterName, string counterHelp, System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounterType counterType);
new System.Diagnostics.CounterCreationData : string * string * System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounterType -> System.Diagnostics.CounterCreationData
Public Sub New (counterName As String, counterHelp As String, counterType As PerformanceCounterType)

Parameters

counterName
String

The name of the counter, which must be unique within its category.

counterHelp
String

The text that describes the counter's behavior.

counterType
PerformanceCounterType

A PerformanceCounterType that identifies the counter's behavior.

Exceptions

You have specified a value for counterType that is not a member of the PerformanceCounterType enumeration.

counterHelp is null.
