Google Analytics in asp.net

Hi

I want to impement google analytics in my asp.net application.

So I referred this tutorial
http://www.aspcode.net/The-Google-Analytics-ASPNET-webcontrol.aspx

Then I have created a custom control and add following code in it.(please see the code section)

Then I have referred the dll in my project and added the following code in my .aspx file

<%@ Register TagPrefix="analytics" TagName="GoogleAnalytics" Namespace="GoogleAnalyticsCtrl" Assembly="GoogleAnalyticsCtrl"%>

<analytics:GoogleAnalytics id="google1" runat="server" uacct="UA-zzzzz-x" DebugMode="false"></analytics:GoogleAnalytics>

But I am getting this error

1. The directive is missing a 'src' attribute.
2.Unknown server tag 'analytics:GoogleAnalytics'.

Is there anything wrong with the code.

Kindly advice
Regards
Karan

Hey

'analytics:GoogleAnalytics

The dll is not referenced or not being called. Try removing the reference and adding again.

Btw why do you need all this why not just add the javascript to the master page. I first thought you have some custom requirement

But

Dim sScript As String = "<script src=""http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js"" type=""text/javascript"">" & vbCr & vbLf & "</script>" & vbCr & vbLf & "<script type=""text/javascript"">" & vbCr & vbLf & "_uacct = """ & uacct & """;" & vbCr & vbLf & "urchinTracker();" & vbCr & vbLf & "</script>"

So why not just this in the master page.

Hey,

Analytics is a simple javascript client side code. So just copy the js code from your analytics and paste it before the page </body>
