Difference between ElapsedTicks, ElapsedMilliseconds, Elapsed.Milliseconds and Elapsed.TotalMilliseconds? (C#)

by

Elapsed.TotalMilliseconds (double) returns the total number of whole and fractional milliseconds elapsed since inception e.g. a stopwatch stopped at 1.23456 seconds would return 1234.56 in this property. See TimeSpan.TotalMilliseconds on MSDN Elapsed.Milliseconds (int) returns the number of whole milliseconds in the current second e.g. a stopwatch at 1.234 seconds would return 234 in this property. … Read more

Using Stopwatch in C#

The Stopwatch object is often used to (as you do here), measure how long things take. One quick thing to remember here is that it will take the time for everything you do between starting and stopping it, so make sure you only put the actual code you want to time between those. using System.Diagnostics; … Read more

To avoid future problems with a timer, here is the right code: timer = new Timer(); timer.Tick += new EventHandler(timer_Tick); timer.Interval = 1; //set interval on 1 milliseconds timer.Enabled = true; //start the timer Result result = new Result(); result = new GeneticAlgorithms().TabuSearch(parametersTabu, functia); timer.Enabled = false; //stop the timer private void timer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs … Read more

How show minutes and seconds with Stopwatch()

by

You should use: ts.ToString(“mm\\:ss\\.ff”) this will give you minutes, seconds and the hundredths of a second in a time interval. also take a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee372287.aspx EDITED: well if you want minutes be your biggest unit you can do the following: string.Format(“{0}:{1}”, Math.Floor(ts.TotalMinutes), ts.ToString(“ss\\.ff”))

Stopwatch vs. using System.DateTime.Now for timing events [duplicate]

by

As per MSDN: The Stopwatch measures elapsed time by counting timer ticks in the underlying timer mechanism. If the installed hardware and operating system support a high-resolution performance counter, then the Stopwatch class uses that counter to measure elapsed time. Otherwise, the Stopwatch class uses the system timer to measure elapsed time. Use the Frequency … Read more
