calculate bytes sent/recieved by web browser(IE)

[anmoldubey]

Hi All,

I want to build a small application to calculate the total data sent/recieved by a webbrowser(IE) while opening a webpage. Please tell me how to start this.

ps: i am new to c# and vb.net ,so would request you to reply in a bit discriptive way

You can use this and find which NetworkInterface is used: NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces Method (System.Net.NetworkInformation)
When you have done that you can call its GetIPv4Statistics method and read BytesReceived property before and after the webpage load and calculate total bytes received during this time.

on running the below code::
public static void DisplayDnsConfiguration()
{
NetworkInterface[] adapters = NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces();
foreach (NetworkInterface adapter in adapters)
{
IPInterfaceProperties properties = adapter.GetIPProperties();
Console.WriteLine(adapter.Description);
Console.WriteLine(" DNS suffix .............................. : {0}",
properties.DnsSuffix);
Console.WriteLine(" DNS enabled ............................. : {0}",
properties.IsDnsEnabled);
Console.WriteLine(" Dynamically configured DNS .............. : {0}",
properties.IsDynamicDnsEnabled);
}
Console.WriteLine();
}



im getting the below output,
please tell me which one is the correct nework interface
SSL Network Tunneling - Packet Scheduler Miniport
DNS suffix .............................. :
DNS enabled ............................. : False
Dynamically configured DNS .............. : True
NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller - Packet Scheduler Miniport
DNS suffix .............................. : ######
DNS enabled ............................. : False
Dynamically configured DNS .............. : True
MS TCP Loopback interface
DNS suffix .............................. :
DNS enabled ............................. : False
Dynamically configured DNS .............. : True

This is a VB.NET forum, y'know.

I would think it's the Nvidia one.

wow nyce, what a handy trick, thanks john

It's not very reliable though, since that will measure all network receive traffic going on at the time. But if you just want to know and don't have other receive traffic it should suffice.

can you suggest me how to get data only for specific webpage and not for other network activities.
