A custom control that implements the FrontPage Hit Counter (“HitCounter”) control.
FpHitCount makes use of the fpcount.exe application that is part of
the FrontPage Server Extensions. The reset mechanism is different from the one used
in FrontPage, and is explained here.

string. fpcount.exe increments the count each time it reads it for rendering purposes.
As it turns out, fpcount.exe is tolerant of additional information after the 11-digit hit
count string. FpHitCount adds a GUID string after the count string.
When the Reset property edit button is clicked in the Visual Studio .NET property window,
a new GUID is calculated for the Reset property.
When the control is rendered, it compares the
