How to estimate method execution time?

Question

I have requirement to cancel method execution if it takes the more than two seconds to complete and restart it on another thread.

So, is there any way/call back mechanis

Answer 1

It would be good if you can find it. I've been looking for it too.

What I usually do is start the method in another Thread, and start a Timer with 2 seconds in this case. The first time it raises the event, just do:

if (a.IsAlive)
{
   a.Abort();
}

Two important things:

• The Thread declared should be visible by the method that handles the timer
• When calling Abort(), it raises ThreadAbortException, so you should correctly handle it in the method.
