Does anybody know of a method for creating custom Performance Counters using ordinary unmanaged Visual C++?
I know that it can be done easily using managed C++, but I need to do it using an unmanaged Windows service.
I also know that you can retrieve performance counter data, but I need to create some custom counters and increment them during the applications runtime.

It is not really hard, but a bit tedious as the API involves extensive usage of self-referential, variable-length structures and has to employ some IPC mechanism to obtain the data from the monitored process.
