Answer 3

//try it

       Stopwatch sw = new Stopwatch();

        Thread.Sleep(10382);

        sw.Stop();


        Console.Write(sw.Elapsed.Duration());

Answer 4

I've coded this way:

using System.Diagnostics;
...

Stopwatch watch = new Stopwatch();
watch.Start();

// here the complex program.
...

watch.Stop();

TimeSpan timeSpan = watch.Elapsed;

Console.WriteLine("Time: {0}h {1}m {2}s {3}ms", timeSpan.Hours, timeSpan.Minutes, timeSpan.Seconds, timeSpan.Milliseconds);

Answer 5

You should use:

ts.ToString("mm\\:ss\\.ff")

this will give you minutes, seconds and the hundredths of a second in a time interval.

also take a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee372287.aspx

EDITED: well if you want minutes be your biggest unit you can do the following:

string.Format("{0}:{1}", Math.Floor(ts.TotalMinutes), ts.ToString("ss\\.ff"))

Answer 6

Review the documentation for TimeSpan, the struct returned by stopwatch.Elapsed. You want either the Minutes or TotalMinutes property.

If you're measuring a 62 minute span, ts.Minutes will return 2, and ts.TotalMinutes will return 62.
