Measure execution time in C#

Question

I want to measure the execution of a piece of code and I\'m wondering what the best method to do this is?

Option 1:

DateTime StartTime = DateTime.Now         


        

Answer 1

I have a little class to do this sort of thing ad hoc. It uses the stopwatch class - c# micro perfomance testing.

eg.

var tester = new PerformanceTester(() => SomeMethod());
tester.MeasureExecTime(1000);
Console.Writeline(string.Format("Executed in {0} milliseconds", tester.AverageTime.TotalMilliseconds));
