At the beginning of the handler get the time using DateTime.Now.

At the end of the handler, subtract the current DateTime.Now value from the
one you stored in the beginning of the handler.

The resulting TimeSpan can be used to obtain the TotalMilliseconds of the
handler time.

If you are able to use C#2.0, there is a class specifically for this kind of
thing, System.Diagnostics.StopWatch.
