Do you ever find yourself using DateTime to time a section of code? Do you have code like the following?
DateTime start = DateTime.Now; // Perform a long process Thread.Sleep( 1968 ); DateTime end = DateTime.Now; TimeSpan duration = end.Subtract( start ); Console.WriteLine( "This process took {0} ms", duration.TotalMilliseconds );
If you do, you should look at the System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch class that was introduced in the 2.0 framework. You can convert the code above to the much more readable
Stopwatch stopwatch = new Stopwatch(); stopwatch.Start(); // Perform a long process Thread.Sleep( 1968 ); stopwatch.Stop(); Console.WriteLine( "This process took {0} ms", stopwatch.ElapsedMilliseconds );
