Is DateTime.Now the best way to measure a function's performance? [closed]

Answer 1

This is the correct way:

using System;
using System.Diagnostics;

class Program
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        Stopwatch stopWatch = Stopwatch.StartNew();

            // some other code

        stopWatch.Stop();

        // this not correct to get full timer resolution
        Console.WriteLine("{0} ms", stopWatch.ElapsedMilliseconds);

        // Correct way to get accurate high precision timing
        Console.WriteLine("{0} ms", stopWatch.Elapsed.TotalMilliseconds);
    }
}
