How can I add a performance counter to a category i have already created

Asked 2009-06-05T21:07:21.367

I have created a PerformanceCounterCategory like below

var category = PerformanceCounterCategory.Create("MyCat", "Cat Help",
    PerformanceCounterCategoryType.SingleInstance, "MyCounter", "Counter Help);

How can I add a new counter to the category to monitor another item?
I cannot find the api for it.

c# .net performancecounter

I did a research on this a while back and it doesn't seem to be possible to add counters to an existing category, what you would have to do it to recreate the same category with addition of the new counter.

PerformanceCounter lCounter = new PerformanceCounter(Category, CounterName, 
                                                     false);
lCounter.MachineName = ".";
