Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the Remove method to delete a CounterCreationData object from the CounterCreationDataCollection.

String^ myCategoryName;
int numberOfCounters;
Console::Write( "Enter the category Name :" );
myCategoryName = Console::ReadLine();
// Check if the category already exists or not.
if (  !PerformanceCounterCategory::Exists( myCategoryName ) )
{
   Console::Write( "Enter the number of counters : " );
   numberOfCounters = Int32::Parse( Console::ReadLine() );
   array<CounterCreationData^>^ myCounterCreationData =
      gcnew array<CounterCreationData^>(numberOfCounters);
   for ( int i = 0; i < numberOfCounters; i++ )
   {
      Console::Write( "Enter the counter name for {0} counter : ", i );
      myCounterCreationData[ i ] = gcnew CounterCreationData;
      myCounterCreationData[ i ]->CounterName = Console::ReadLine();
   }
   CounterCreationDataCollection^ myCounterCollection =
      gcnew CounterCreationDataCollection;
   // Add the 'CounterCreationData[]' to 'CounterCollection'.
   myCounterCollection->AddRange( myCounterCreationData );

   PerformanceCounterCategory::Create( myCategoryName,
      "Sample Category", myCounterCollection );

   for ( int i = 0; i < numberOfCounters; i++ )
