Click tracking function

[4getit]

I am need to write some code that tracks the users actions and writes them to a text file which will then be sent to a database. Such as what buttons they click on, what they drag and drop and other events. This way we know how to make the software better in the future. Has anyone done anything like this or know where I can find some information on the best way to go about this? I can't seem to find any examples of anyone doing this. Thanks.

Clickstream does something like that.

Thanks Guru but Clickstream is done with JSP and I'm going to be developing this in a .NET C# environment so I can't really reference that.

You can create event logs on such situations. You can take a look at Log4Net.

just a thought: you'd better inform the user that you're spying on them. you'd have to get them to agree to it in the EULA, but no-one reads that, and you will not believe the outrage you'll cause if they find it out unexpectedly.

users, eh?
