## Get

The Get method takes the name of a counter and returns the current value of the counter. If the counter doesn't exist, the method creates it and sets it to 0.

###### Syntax

Counters.Get(CounterName)

###### Parameters

CounterName
  A string containing the name of the counter.

###### Example

Display the value of a counter with `<%= Counters.Get(CounterName) %>`. The following script displays the vote tally from a poll about favorite colors.

--- Counters_Get.asp ---

    <HTML>
    <HEAD><TITLE>Voting for Colors</TITLE></HEAD>
    <BODY>

    <%
      vote = Request.QueryString("color")
      ' The Counters object was instantiated in Global.asa.
      Counters.Increment(vote & "counter")
    %>
    <H3>Vote for your Favorite Color:</H3>
    <FORM NAME="Voting for Colors" METHOD="GET" ACTION="Counters_Get.asp">
    <input type="RADIO" NAME="color" VALUE="red">Red
    <input type="RADIO" NAME="color" VALUE="green">Green
    <input type="RADIO" NAME="color" VALUE="blue">Blue
    <BR><INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Submit Vote">
