Invalid object name sysperfinfo

When I execute this statement through ASP.NET

select cntr_value FROM sysperfinfo

I get this error,

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Invalid object name 'sysperfinfo'.

Any ideas why?

It sounds to me like your connectionstring (the string that points to the database which you are querying) is pointing to a database that does not have a table entitled 'sysperfinfo'|||

To add to the previous post some things have changes about sysperfinfo. Try the links below for more. Hope this helps.

sysperfinfo

In SQL Server 2005,sysperfinfo returns abigint value for thecntr_value column. Modify applications that usesysperfinfo to make sure that they can handle thebigint values of thecntr_value column.

In SQL Server 2005,sysperfinfo is a compatibility view. You should use thesys.dm_os_performance_counters dynamic management view instead.

Maybe you're in the wrong database, try:

select cntr_value FROM master..sysperfinfo
