Reporting how many times the client application was used
<p>I am making an application in C# in which i would like to know everytime a user runs the application. I want to implement a hidden ping to server on startup kinda thing. i have got some server space on a free host. Not really sure how this can be implemented. I think there should be a script on the server which registers a hit everytime the client application send a request with specified parameters.</p>

<p>The application is a desktop gui based app developed in C#. Firewall is not an issue since the app is already does network communication. It is not a public application but an internal one to be used by our company. I dont really want to hide it. All i want to do is to analyse the usage i.e. the no. of users using it and at what time</p>

<p>Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.</p>
