Time Difference Calculations

I am interested in finding out the time it takes to complete a certain section of my source code
How do i determine the time difference between the beginning of a process and its end. I need to get the result in Minutes and then second, like e.g. 3 minutes 45 seconds
Any suggestions for a fast solution to this
Thanks in Advance

DateTime startTime = DateTime.Now;

... do stuff ...

TimeSpan elapsed = DateTime.Now - startTime;

string nicePrettyStrin g = elapsed.ToStrin g(); // ##:##:##
Keep in mind that the granularity of the system clock will affect the
"exactness" of your time differences.

I am having some problems with trying to perform calculations on time fields. Say I have a start time and an end time, 1:00:00 and 2:30:00 (on a 24 hour scale, not 12). I want to find the difference in minutes, divide this result by a predefined size of interval, and make a loop that runs this many times. For example, with an interval size of 15 minutes, it will return 6 blocks... I have this all working fine, but am getting stuck on...

Hi, I`m trying to do date calculations in three types of time zones: local, GMT and specified. The issue I am facing is that I need to be able to specify a date in the proper time zone, and I`m having a heck of a time doing so. I have created a form where I use drop downs do specify year, month, date, hour, minute and seconds. When the form is loaded, the dropdowns have to display the proper values for the current time zone type. This

Hi I am trying to find difference between two time values in hours. I have tried the following? ? dateDiff("h", #23:00:00#, #23:00:00#) gives 0 as expected. ? dateDiff("h", #00:00:00#, #23:00:00#) gives 23??? should it not be 1 as 00:00:00 (12 midnight) is only one hour after 23:00:00 (11 pm)?

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
