The Stopwatch class may be suitable here. The basic code to use it is as follows: using System.Diagnostics; // .... // declare Stopwatch at class level so available to all methods in class private Stopwatch sw; // start the stopwatch in some method sw = Stopwatch.StartNew(); // measure the elapsed time in some other method long seconds = sw.ElapsedMilliseconds/ 1000; // optionally stop the Stopwwatch sw.Stop();
