How to use Stopwatch to Calculate Program Execution time in C#

The execution time is very important for a program and programmer should know the ways by which he can calculate the total program execution time. C# provide a stropwatch to calculate time. if you want to measure the time start the stopwatch before program start execution and stop the watch after program finishes the execution.

C# Code to Calculate Program Execution Time:

using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Threading;

namespace MyApp
{
    class execution_time_class
    {
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
           Stopwatch my_watch = new Stopwatch();

           my_watch.Start();
            for (int i = 1; i < 100; i++)
            {
                Thread.Sleep(1);
            }
            my_watch.Stop();

            Console.WriteLine("Elapsed: {0}", my_watch.Elapsed);
            Console.WriteLine("Elapsed in milliseconds: {0}", my_watch.ElapsedMilliseconds);
            Console.WriteLine("Elapsed timer ticks: {0}", my_watch.ElapsedTicks);

            Console.Read();
        }
    }
}
