Question

I have a about 10 application variable counters in Global.asax for displaying the file downloads of these different 10 categories. Now I want to insert/Update values of these counters on a specific time (due to reset of counter when application restart get reset the counter) say at 11PM each day and update the counter.

How to do? Any ideas?

In Global.asax:

void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)  
{ 
        Application.Add("MGM",0); 
        Application.Add("PC",0); 
        Application.Add("NC",0); 
        Application.Add("TC",0); 
        Application.Add("PGC",0); 
} 

The shortCode parameter is the name of global session from Global.asax file. That I am passing to get the counter and increment accordingly.

In Download.aspx.cs page:

private int GetCount(string shordCode) 
{ 
    int count=0; 
    count = Convert.ToInt32(Application[shortCode]); 

    lock (Application[shortCode]) 
    { 
        Application[shortCode] = ++count; 
    } 

    return count; 
} 

Help appreciated..!

You Can use below code.

public void GetCurrentTime()
    {
        int hours ;
        hours = DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.Hours;
        //when time is 23Hrs of the day
        if (hours == 23)
        {
//       UpdateCounter here           
        }
    }
