I've implemented a stopwatch that works fine without considering that bank holidays and weekends shouldn't be counted in the total duration. I was looking for some open-source library where I could get the elapsed time, passing a start instant, end instant and a set of bank holidays (weekends aren't counted in). The only library that mak...
How accurate is System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch? I am trying to do some metrics for different code paths and I need it to be exact. Should I be using stopwatch or is there another solution that is more accurate. I have been told that sometimes stopwatch gives incorrect information. ...
This may not be an entirely not a .NET related question. I am writing a .NET application to control some gadgets. I send commands to the gadget periodically (say every 500 milliseconds). As soon as I send the command I start a timer. (.NET stopwatch class) If the gadget not respond within say, 10 milliseconds, I send the command again. ...
For example foo() //Some operation bound by an external resource. db,I/O, whatever. vs. var watch = new Stopwatch(); watch.Start(); foo() var time = watch.ElapsedMilliseconds watch.Stop(); ...
Is it normal behaviour that Stopwatch can return negative values? Code sample below can be used to reproduce it. while (true) { Stopwatch sw = new Stopwatch(); sw.Start(); sw.Stop(); if (sw.ElapsedMilliseconds < 0) Debugger.Break(); } The only place whe...
What does ElapsedTicks and Elapsed.Ticks in the StopWatch class mean? When could the meaning be different than intended? ...
I've come across a unit test that is failing intermittently because the time elapsed isn't what I expect it to be. An example of what this test looks like is: Stopwatch stopwatch = new Stopwatch(); stopwatch.Start(); TimeSpan oneSecond = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 1); for(int i=0; i<3; i++) { Thread.Sleep(oneSecond); } stopwatch.Stop();...
I don't understand why this code fails to measure when 4 hours has elapsed. if (guildVaultRunStarter.IsRunning) { if (guildVaultRunTimer.ElapsedMilliseconds > 4 * 60 * 60 * 1000) // 4 hours { guildVaultRunStarter.Reset(); log("Its been over 4 hours - empty bags."); return true;...

I need the ability to create up to N amount timers in JavaScript/Ajax that will count like a stopwatch(but have no buttons). Another issue is that my data will be loaded via another Ajax request so the page will constantly be updating. I'm not sure how I would be able to keep a timer's correct value when that happens. Thanks! ...
I have the this code: var options = GetOptions(From, Value, SelectedValue); var stopWatch = System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch.StartNew(); foreach (Option option in options) { stringBuilder.Append("<option"); stringBuilder.Append(" value=\""); stringBuilder.Append(option.Value); stringBuilder.Append("\""); if (opti...
I would like to be able to calculate the amount of time a number of functions take to execute. I was thinking about using some type of stopwatch class. I can call start/stop before and after each function call, however that seems horribly ugly to me. Is there a way to do this without a stopwatch class? Can something in the Reflections c...
I have a stopwatch running in a different thread, that updates the GUI thread in a label to show as time goes by. When my program closes, it throws a ObjectDisposedException when I call this.Invoke(mydelegate); in the Form GUI to update the label with the time from the stopwatch. How do I get rid of this ObjectDisposedException? I...
I want to have a stopwatch on the site, which displays running time on the label without reloading a page. Is it possible to do this on client side? Should I use Ajax timer or smth else from .net? Website is in C#. Some links or demos would be really helpful ! Thanks ! ...
Debug.WriteLine("Timer is high-resolution: {0}", Stopwatch.IsHighResolution); Debug.WriteLine("Timer frequency: {0}", Stopwatch.Frequency); Result: Timer is high-resolution: True Timer frequency: 2597705 This article (from 2005!) mentions a Frequency of 3579545, a million more than mine. This blog post mentions a Frequency ...
I'm trying to write a blackberry app that is basically a stopwatch, and displays lap times. First, I'm not sure I'm implementing the stopwatch functionality in the most optimal way. I have a LabelField (_myLabel) that displays the 'clock' - starting at 00:00. Then you hit the start button and every second the _myLabel field gets updated ...
I am currently working on an image processing application. The application captures images from a webcam and then does some processing on it. The app needs to be real time responsive (ideally < 50ms to process each request). I have been doing some timing tests on the code I have and I found something very interesting (see below). clearL...
At MSDN page for Stopwatch class I discovered link to interesting article which makes following statement about Stopwatch: However there are some serious issues: This can be unreliable on a PC with multiple processors. Due to a bug in the BIOS, Start() and Stop() must be executed on the same processor to get a correct re...
Hi, I need an accurate timer, and DateTime.Now seems not accurate enough. From the descriptions I read, System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch seems to be exactly what I want. But I have a phobia. I'm nervous about using anything from System.Diagnostics in actual production code. (I use it extensively for debugging with Asserts and PrintLns etc...
Ideally I would like to have something similar to the Stopwatch class but with an extra property called Speed which would determine how quickly the timer changes minutes. I am not quite sure how I would go about implementing this. Edit Since people don't quite seem to understand why I want to do this. Consider playing a soccer game, or...
