Timers in .NET using C# to calculate time taken

[mpd100]

A good start place is using System.Environment.TickCount, which returns the number of milliseconds that have passed since the OS started. By grabbing this value at different times, you can calculate how much time has passed:


long start = System.Environment.TickCount;

//do other stuff

long stop = System.Environment.TickCount;

long elapsed = stop-start; //total milliseconds passed

long secondsElapsed = elapsed/1000;
long minutesElapsed = secondsElapsed/60;
