calculate elapsed seconds

Question

Hello everyone What is the most convenient way to check whether elapsed time from some time point to another time point is larger than 2 seconds? Currently I am using TimeSpan and I am using stupid method to check hour/minute/second one by one to decide. Are there any quick way to check? thanks in advance George

System.Windows.Forms. Timer myTimer = new System.Windows.Forms. Timer (); static int counter = 0; static bool b = false ; myTimer.Tick+= new EventHandler (myTimer_Tick); myTimer.Interval = 1000; myTimer.Start(); while (b == false ) { // implement your code that corresond to the time not elapsed yet situation if(b==true) { // implement your code that corresond to the time already elapsed situation break; } } //implement this event handler method like this static void myTimer_Tick( Object sender EventArgs e) { // Stop the timer myTimer.Stop(); /* Here we chose 2 seconds or a little more to be in timeout situation */ if (counter { // Enable the counter myTimer.Enabled = true ; // Increment the counter counter++; } // The condition related to witch the Spalsh form will be disposed if (counter == 2) b = true ; }
