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.

Dim socket As 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: " & socket.ElapsedSeconds)
