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.

Chilkat.Socket socket = new Chilkat.Socket();

//  Start (or restart) the object's convenience timer.
socket.StartTiming();

//  Perform some work.  (Here the thread simply sleeps to let time pass.)
socket.SleepMs(1500);

//  Read the whole number of seconds elapsed since StartTiming was called.
Debug.WriteLine("Elapsed seconds: " + Convert.ToString(socket.ElapsedSeconds));
