Application variable question (conversion from asp to dotnet)

Goober

I converted a website that was done in ASP to dotnet, and brought over a
number of items, some of which don't appear to work in the same way on
dotnet as they did on ASP.

One of them is an application variable.

I have this code in my global.asax in the Sub Session_Start:

Application.Loc k() 'Add 1 to active visitor count when new visitor
Application("co unter99") = Application("co unter99") + 1
Application.UnL ock()

It's a counter that I increment each time a user logged in to my old ASP
site.

I have this in the Sub Session_OnEnd to decrement the same counter:

Sub Session_OnEnd(B yVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Application.Loc k() 'Sub 1 active visitor count when new visitor
Application("co unter99") = Application("co unter99") - 1
Application.UnL ock()
End Sub

I know that in ASP, you couldn't really rely on the session end to get a
"good" accurate count on users, but in ASP, it generally worked, and
gave you a reasonable estimate of how many users were hitting the site
at a time.

In dotnet, this counter registers a number exponentially higher than
what it did in ASP.

Is there a way I can implement a counter for current users of the
website that would be a tad more accurate than this?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks
