General info

Posted by admin under StatMentor.NET

A few years ago I developed StatMentor - a pretty simple script for getting and seing visitor statistics - and It was developed with plain ASP code.

Whilst not being my most popular script ( that's AdMentor by far ), I still like(d) it and I can already now give you a few reasons as why you should take a look into this .NET upgrade of the script:
1. You might actually need a simple stats-script. StatMentor gives you reports on
- total no of visitors
- pageviews, per day and per page
- refering pages and their count

You can create reports over any time you want, such as last day, between the 1st and 8th of a certain month, for the whole year etc.

Personally I actually was in need of a script just like this, the statistics I get from my current webhost is not very good ( Webalizer ), mainly the referer-function does not work the way I want. More on this later.
2. You might want to know how to dynamically create a gif-picture ( with code that is ) using .NET

3. A cool grid I have developed - it's databound and also manages 'insert new'-state ( by using the existing EditItemTemplate in the ASCX-file ). Manages deletes as well ( with warning first - Are you sure you want to delete this... ). And also editing of course.

4. Check out a cool caching scheme - look in adminignore.aspx and MyDatabase.cs.

5. It's free :)
