Measure Elapsed Time with the Convenience Timer

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.StartTiming, which starts or restarts the object's convenience timer. The ElapsedSeconds property then reports the whole number of seconds since the call.

Background. This timer is a convenience for measuring durations and does not affect connection behavior or timeouts.
