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

Question

I\'m totally confused between these 4. What is the difference between ElapsedMilliseconds (long), ElapsedTicks (long), Elapsed.TotalMilliseconds (double) and Elapsed.Millise

Answer 1

in a short explanation from msdn:

ElapsedMilliseconds

This property represents elapsed time rounded down to the nearest whole millisecond value. For higher precision measurements, use the Elapsed or ElapsedTicks properties.

ElapsedTicks

This property represents the number of elapsed ticks in the underlying timer mechanism. A tick is the smallest unit of time that the Stopwatch timer can measure. Use the Frequency field to convert the ElapsedTicks value into a number of seconds.

Elapsed

Use the Elapsed property to retrieve the elapsed time value using TimeSpan methods and properties. For example, you can format the returned TimeSpan instance into a text representation, or pass it to another class that requires a TimeSpan parameter.
