Julian,

I want to copy a file from one PC to another using DotNet and would like to
time the operation- how do I do it?

On a 1Gb connection or over a 22Kb dataline?

do something like this:

Dim dtMark As DateTime = Now
' do your file copy here
Dim sec As Double = Now.Subtract(dtMark).TotalSeconds
' at this point, sec is double precision seconds that the copy took

Well, you would have to implement a copy mechanism that calls a
callbackfunction after every nth part of your file has been copied, so you
could gradually improve the estimate of your completion time (a simple
estimating function would be completion time = start time + (elapsed time /
n) * 100)

Something like this:

Dim dtStart As DateTime = DateTime.Now

'copy file here

Dim tsElapsed As TimeSpan = DateTime.Now.Subtract(dtStart)

MsgBox("Elapsed time: " & tsElapsed.TotalSeconds.ToString)
