the purpose i’m willing to put the code into the button is :
i can count, how many user will be redirect from my Sharepoint system to another url http page.
and those url http page, wasn’t on sharepoint.

is there any way to check, how much user go from my sharepoint page ?

void Button_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Place the entire code here what ever is in the render method
}
But, why you want to place the hit counter code in a button, if you place the entire code in a button then how you are going to count the user hits, because if you place the entire code in a button the code will execute only when the button is click event is fired hence you cannot get the actual user hits for the pages, so I to get the actual user visit counts you have to run the code when the every time when the page gets loaded instead of in a button click, I am not sure how is your requirement, but consider this as my suggestion, let me know more clearer in case if you are looking for any thing.
Since you are unable to open the solution in VS 2005/2008, better you download a fresh copy from source code from http://hitcounter.codeplex.com/ then open visual studio 2005 Start > Programs > Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 then click on Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
Then, click on File > Open > Project/Solution
browse to HitCounter.sln file select and click Open

i’m interested with your web part,
i have a need to create Hit Counter web Part, but it will be attached to a Button.

my needs :
in sharepoint page, i have a button.
if the button got clicked, it will be adding to a custom list, whichis contain : currentDate (date), clickedCounter (int),
than, the button will open new IE /redirect the user to another page, eq : http://www.fiveNumber.com

for this month, xx user has been click the button
and also i can create a daily report.
01.01.2010 – 11 clicked
02.01.2010 – 21 clicked
…..

However, when I try to add Hitcounter webpart to site or page, getting following error !!. Any idea ?

Unable to add selected web part(s). The file you imported is not valid. Verify that the file is a Web Part description file (*.webpart or *.dwp) and that it contains well-formed XML.

                SPSite mysite = new SPSite("http://");
                SPWeb myweb = mysite.OpenWeb();
                SPList mylist = myweb.Lists["Statistics"];
                SPQuery myquery = new SPQuery();
                myquery.Query = "";//your query here.....
                SPListItemCollection myitemcol = mylist.GetItems(myquery);                

                foreach (SPListItem li in myitemcol)
                {
                    string url = li["url"].ToString();
                    string date = li["date"].ToString();
                    string username=li["uname"].ToString();
		}

If I place the hit counter web part in master page it will show the count correctly (only I will get the count). But if I want to show the details (username, url, date visited), I need to create a view for the list. (Because it’s storing all the information in the list ["Statistics"] only.)

How can I get the information also in the same web part.

Just to make sure we both are in the same page; provided the URL I have followed http://hitcounter.codeplex.com/ . If not please provide me the correct URL.

Very much appreciated your help.

Thanks,
