Million iterations per second

Question

I have a parser that we implemented and I want to compare it to some other commercial parsers. The other parsers are measuring their speed in terms of "million iterations per second." How can I measure the number of iterations for my parser in C#?

Answer 1

Here is an Example of how to do this on Visual studio http://www.dotnetperls.com/benchmark

Also to get an acurate result Complie to an Exe and run as a standalone console application, dont run it from inside Visual studio.
