Performance counters enable you to track the performance of an
application. The operating system (OS) provides several counters such as memory
usage and CPU usage. In addition, the .NET Framework provides several counters,

compiler, and to exceptions. The .NET Framework also provides you with some
classes that enable you to create your own counters.
