Hi Abaf
At the bottom of the form design view there's a tray which contains component-derived controls, eg menuStrip1 and performanceCounter1.
Select performanceCounter1. Press F4 to direct focus to the Properties Window. In the Properties Window select the CategoryName and set it to [whatever you initially had in mind to monitor]. Same with CounterName. These modifications will update the designer generated code for you.
If you did not initially have any need for the performance counter, simply remove the control from the form designer tray.
Hope that helps.

Basically, you need to specify a valid category and counter. You can select these from performanceCounter1's properties window. - Proposed As Answer byGeert van Horrik Sunday, September 27, 2009 11:40 AM

well thanks But its for VB.Net | | Abaf Sunday, September 27, 2009 11:36 AM | One of the advantages is that C# and VB only differ in syntax, but both use exactly the same classes and types and thus can be easily translated:
[Visual Basic]
Dim PC As New PerformanceCounter()
PC.CategoryName = "Process" You forgot this
PC.CounterName = "Private Bytes"
PC.InstanceName = "Explorer"
MessageBox.Show(PC.NextValue().ToString())
[C#]
PerformanceCounter pc = new PerformanceCounter();
pc.CategoryName = "Process"; // <== You forgot this
pc.CounterName = "Private Bytes";
pc.InstanceName = "Explorer";
MessageBox.Show(pc.NextValue().ToString());

| | Abaf Sunday, September 27, 2009 3:30 PM | The changes go in the designer.cs file. However, you really shouldn't modify this file by hand since it is autogenerated and your changes may be overwritten if it is regenerated. This is why I initially suggested to select your performanceCounter in the form design view, and make your changes in the property window. | | Wole Ogunremi Monday, September 28, 2009 3:40 PM | please note I'm "VC# Skill: Just started VC# coding , Novice" two solutions to my problem: 1) As you have said to use the design view to fix the problem please,I assume you are referring to adjust the property by using "Property Explorer" so which "Control" property shud I change , is it the form property...? kindly guide like this form>property>text>change to "etc " 2)OR do changes in designer.cs So,kindly tell me where to put the code:
namespace BackColor
{
partial class Form1
{
///// PUT THE CODE HERE ???///
/// <summary>
/// Required designer variable.
/// </summary>
private System.ComponentModel.IContainer components = null;
/// <summary>
/// Clean up any resources being used.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="disposing">true if managed resources should be disposed; otherwise, false.</param>
protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
{
///// PUT THE CODE HERE ???///
}
#region Windows Form Designer generated code
private void InitializeComponent()
{
///// PUT THE CODE HERE ???///
//I RIPPED THE CODE
//IT CONTAINED AUTOGENERATED CODE RELATED TO //RADIO_BUTTON AND MENUSTRIP ETC
System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripMenuItem();
this.performanceCounter1 = new
System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter();
this.menuStrip1.SuspendLayout();
((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)
//
// Form1
//
//CODE RIPPED
///// PUT THE CODE HERE ???///
}
#endregion
//CODE RIPPED
///// PUT THE CODE HERE ???///
}
}
