Silverlight Stopwatch

There’s no stopwatch in Silverlight but there is nothing to stop you rolling your own.

public class Stopwatch
{
    private long _start;
    private long _end;

    public void Start()
    {
        _start = DateTime.Now.Ticks;
    }

    public void Stop()
    {
        _end = DateTime.Now.Ticks;
    }

    public TimeSpan ElapsedTime { get { return new TimeSpan(_end – _start); }}

    public static Stopwatch StartNew()
    {
        var stopwatch = new Stopwatch();
        stopwatch.Start();
        return stopwatch;
    }
}
