I am using Stopwatch and I would like to estimate how long it takes from start to finish.
It looks like a very simple complex. I instantiated stopwatch, start it, then stop it and then by writing a method .elapsed it should provide me with the time it takes from start to stop.
Unfortunately it always provides me with 00:00:00.
Do I have to set something specific to my culture on my PC or?
I have also tried .StartNew() but to no avail.
Stopwatch stopwatch = new Stopwatch();
stopwatch.Start();
string juniorDevOpsFolder = "JuniorDevOps";
string targetPath = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();
int endIndex = targetPath.IndexOf(juniorDevOpsFolder);
var juniorDevOpsPath = targetPath.Substring(0, endIndex + juniorDevOpsFolder.Length);
string directory = "Files";
string targetDirectory = Path.Combine(juniorDevOpsPath, directory);
ProcessDirectory(targetDirectory);
stopwatch.Stop();
// Write hours, minutes and seconds.
Console.WriteLine("Time elapsed: {0:hh\\:mm\\:ss}", stopwatch.Elapsed);
Again, the output is 00:00:00
Your program is taking less than one second to execute, so formatted stopwatch.Elapsed is printing 00:00:00 to console. Try stopwatch.ElapsedMilliseconds instead of formatted stopwatch.Elapsed.
something like
Stopwatch stopwatch = new Stopwatch();
stopwatch.Start();
//Your business logic
stopwatch.Stop();
Console.WriteLine($"Elapsed milliseconds : {stopwatch.ElapsedMilliseconds}" );
