Question

main()
{
    clock_t start, end;
    double elapsed;

    start = clock();

     /* some function */

    end = clock();

    elapsed = ((double) (end - start)) / CLOCKS_PER_SEC;
}

I have no knowledge of VB.NET, and I need the preceding C program in VB.NET. I’d also like the elapsed time to show the number of days when the elapsed time exceeds 24 hours.

You may use the System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch class to time operations precisely in .NET.

Dim stopwatch As New Stopwatch()

stopwatch.Start()

'Perform timed operations here

stopwatch.Stop()

The elapsed TimeSpan may now be retrieved as stopwatch.Elapsed. For a direct analogue to your C code, you would write:

Dim elapsed = stopwatch.Elapsed.TotalSeconds
