Simple Data Usage Monitor

Question

Hi!

 

I wanna make a very simple data usage monitor -- just a text box displaying the data I spend in realtime. I googled for help, but what I get are long source codes doing various network stuff I don't need. And I don't understand them coz of their complexity. Could you guys direct me to a link showing how to just Start creating a data monitoring app, or give me some tips, OR post a simple code so I could start from there?

 

Thank you very much!

 

Answer 1

Are you planning to store that data somewhere? Please tell your ultimate intension, that is very important.

 

If you just want to view, you can always go to Task Mananger -> Performance -> select Ethernet.

 

If you want historical data, I am sure your ISP will have a page showing all the details of your login, logout, upload usage, download usage, etc with date and time stamp.
