Question

I have code that measure how much time some operation took. If day light saving takes effect in the middle of the operation, I get inaccurate data.

So for example, I am doing

DateTime startAt = DateTime.Now;
DoOperation(); //day light saving takes effect in the middle
int seconds = (DateTime.Now - startAt).TotalSeconds;
//second has wrong seconds

Is there a way to measure this?

Thanks

Use the StopWatch class instead…eg

var stopWatch = new StopWatch();
stopWatch.Start();
//code here
stopWatch.Stop()
Console.WriteLine("elapsed millisconds " + stopwatch.ElapsedMilliseconds);
