Asked: May 26, 20262026-05-26T05:54:49+00:00 2026-05-26T05:54:49+00:00

I have: Stopwatch stopWatch = new Stopwatch(); stopWatch.Start(); DateTime start = DateTime.Now; Thread.Sleep(5000); stopWatch.Stop();

I have:

Stopwatch stopWatch = new Stopwatch();
stopWatch.Start();

DateTime start  = DateTime.Now;
Thread.Sleep(5000);

stopWatch.Stop();
DateTime stop = DateTime.Now;

//stopWatch.ElapsedMilliseconds approximately equals to (stop - start).TotalMilliseconds

So is there a difference in these measurement methods?

    Stopwatch is more precised than the calculation of (stop - start).TotalMilliseconds.
