The obvious way to do it is to write the code. Every time the user does something make an entry in the database. Or, you can use something like WebTrends analytics or Google's assuming they track what you want.

You can do as ryanb31 has suggested, but I reckon that it will add another overhead of updating database more than what should be.

In case you just want to track the pages a user visits along with query strings etc, you can use a http handler. Refer to this link for a short introduction - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308001[^]. There is a lot more information on the net pertaining to http handlers, have a look at them. If you want to track every particular mouse click, it is going to be really hard on the database and the server. So, I would recommend just logging the pages and the query strings.

If you insist on storing every activity in a page, you may have provide a utility class with a method, that gets called from every method call to log information you need. But this definitely is not a good idea!

Hope this helps!

If you want to track all the changes users make to a database, then the easiest way would be to add a transaction log to the database. You can even get away with a single table that tracks the table name, the username, the commandtype, and a summary of the change. If you really want constant notification you can do that from the database as well from an insert/update trigger on this new transaction table.
