Timer

[rahultaing]

Can anyone tell me how do I count the number of seconds elapsed after a certain piece of C# code is executed?

[Colin Angus Mackay]

I would create something to hold a start time. And then when I need to know the number of elapsed seconds I'd get the current time and calculate the difference.

DateTime - DateTime = TimeSpan ;) DateTime start = DateTime.Now; DoSomething(); TimeSpan result = DateTime.Now - start; Console.WriteLine(result.Seconds); _________________________________ Please inform me about my English mistakes, as I'm still trying to learn your language!

You can also use the Timer class. Set it to one second and count the number of times the ElapsedTimeEvent is called. I think however the DateTime methid would be better. ;) Coulda, woulda, shoulda doesn't matter if you don't.
