Timing Code Execution

[Donald_a]

I need to time how long certain methods are taking to run to a very fine level. Too fine for using DateTime and TimeSpan. Does anyone know of any tools that i can use to analyse which methods are bottlenecks? Thanks

Try a profiler like ANTS. Or use interop to query the performance counter. leppie::AllocCPArticle("Zee blog");

I'm working on the same thing right now. System.Diagnostics provides access to the performance counters. That's all I can since I just looked at ten seconds ago. When all else fails, there's always delusion. - Conan O'Brien

It's exceedingly primitive, but combinations of System.Debug.Trace.WriteLines in conjunction with calls to System.Environment.TickCount have always served me well...just grab the tickcount into a long variable at the beginning of a method, and difference it with the current tickcount at the end of the method, then dump the output to the trace.

Thanks for the replies guys. I actually found a very useful article here on CodeProject which may be of interest? Can be found at: http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/highperformancetimercshar.asp?target=timing Thanks again.
