PerformanceCounter not working...

Question

Hi...

I am using PerformanceCounter to get CPU time. Below is the code... I always get the end value as '0'.

Whats wrong with this code?

 

public static string GetRamPercentage()
    {
      PerformanceCounter ramCounter = new PerformanceCounter("Memory", "% Committed Bytes In Use", String.Empty, machineName);

      string value = String.Format("{0:##0}%", ramCounter.NextValue());

      if (ramCounter != null)
      {
        ramCounter.Dispose();
      }

      return (value);
    }

I am calling this method from my form's timer tick event.

 

WHats wrong with this code...?

 

Thanks,

IamHuM

Memory\% Committed Bytes in Use will not give you CPU time.

Please clarify what you want to do.
