PerformanceCoun ter Instance Problem

[BuddyWork]

Hello,

Can someone please explain why my Instances are not appearing in
Perfmon.

Here is my code to create the counters.

CounterCreation DataCollection CCDC = new
CounterCreation DataCollection( );

CounterCreation Data pools = new CounterCreation Data();
pools.CounterTy pe = PerformanceCoun terType.NumberO fItems64;
pools.CounterNa me = "Pools";
pools.CounterHe lp = "Number of Pools Loaded";
CCDC.Add(pools) ;
// Create the category.
PerformanceCoun terCategory PPC =
PerformanceCoun terCategory.Cre ate("Test", "Test Counter.", CCDC);

// Create Counter
PerformanceCoun ter PC = new PerformanceCoun ter("Test", "Pools", false);

PC.RawValue = 0;
PC.Close();
PC.Dispose();

// Now setup the instance
PerformanceCoun ter pca = new PerformanceCoun ter("Test", "Pools",
"_total", false);
pca.RawValue = 100;

Now I load Perfmon, I can set the Category 'Test' and see the counter
Pools but cannot see the instance '_total'.

What am I doing wrong?

I am running VS2003 Service Pack 1 under Windows XP SP1a
