Measure the consumed mb on the internet

I want to get the number of consumed MBs on the internet by code..

I know that it can be done manually: Settings -> Network & Internet -> Data Usage (Windows 10)

photo: Settings -> Network & Internet -> Data Usage (Windows 10)

But how can I find this by code?

I want the number for the whole system, NOT ONLY MY APPLICATION.

For example, I want my code to show: The GB used this month was 3.21!

You can try the following snippet which will give you total sent and received data. You just need to sum it out:

private static void GetTrafficStatistics()
{
    PerformanceCounterCategory performanceCounterCategory = new PerformanceCounterCategory("Network Interface");
    string instance = performanceCounterCategory.GetInstanceNames()[0]; // 1st NIC !
    PerformanceCounter performanceCounterSent = new PerformanceCounter("Network Interface", "Bytes Sent/sec", instance);
    PerformanceCounter performanceCounterReceived = new PerformanceCounter("Network Interface", "Bytes Received/sec", instance);

    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("bytes sent: {0}k\tbytes received: {1}k", performanceCounterSent.NextValue() / 1024, performanceCounterReceived.NextValue() / 1024);
        Thread.Sleep(500);
    }
}

PS:It is using System.Diagnostics.dll

Hope it will help you out.
