What's the best way to benchmark programs in Windows?

Question

I need to do some performance benchmarks on .NET programs (C#) in Windows, but I haven\'t done benchmarking much in the Windows world. I\'ve looked into using the Windows 2

Answer 1

using System.Diagnostics;
....

Stopwatch sw = new Stopwatch();

sw.Start();

// Code you want to time...

// Note: for averaged accuracy (without other OS effects), 
//       run timed code multiple times in a loop 
//       and then divide by the number of runs.

sw.Stop();

Console.WriteLine("Took " + sw.ElapsedTicks + " Ticks");
