StopWatch (System.Diagnostics) and System.Timers

Question

I am new to handling threads.

What is the role of System.Diagnostics and System.Timers in the context of Threading ? Both are alternative to each other or they implemented for doing some unique tasks?

Answer 1

StopWatch is for measuring time intervals. Timers are for scheduling methods to execute at some point in the future. They are completely different.

Answer 2

The System.Diagnostics namespace provides classes that allow you to interact with system processes, event logs, and performance counters.

The System.Timers namespace provides the Timer component, which allows you to raise an event on a specified interval.
