Start - End . Timer

[ADO DOT NET]

Hi,

I have a program that process a long loop.

Before entering the loop I use:

Now.ToString("HH:mm:ss")

To get start time.

After exiting the loop I use it again to get end time.

Now I want to determine how long my process has been taken!

How many hours, minutes and seconds!

I want to know how can I minus end time from start time to get the total time?

Thanks!

[PlausiblyDamp]

dim StartTime, EndTime as Date

StartTime = Date.Now

'do stuff

EndTime = Date.Now

dim TimeDifference as TimeSpan = EndTime.Subtract(StartTime)
'TimeDifference now contains the elapsed time
MessageBox.Show(TimeDifference.TotalMilliseconds.ToString())

 

or similar should do the trick.
