What is the best way to measure execution time of a function? [duplicate]

Question

Obviously I can do and DateTime.Now.After - DateTime.Now.Before but there must be something more sophisticated.

Any tips appreciated.

Answer 1

System.Environment.TickCount and the System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch class are two that work well for finer resolution and straightforward usage.

Answer 2

I would definitely advise you to have a look at System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch

And when I looked around for more about Stopwatch I found this site;

Beware of the stopwatch

There mentioned another possibility

Process.TotalProcessorTime
